Our First Christmas

Well, we've almost survived our first Christmas together. :) It has been alot like we thought it would be - fun, but mucho "mine, mine, mine". We only gave them 3 individual gifts and the rest were either for everyone or they all got the same thing. Juan managed to break his and Maicol's remote control car in the first hour. He also managed to use his Nerf gun inappropriately and lost it for the day. And that was just the first hour! Juan was probably the most excited. He was the first one up and could hardly contain himself. They woke Andrew up, so he was a little confused at the beginning I think. Maicol had a good time and I hope the day was what he was hoping for.
Dan took them for a long bike ride and a trip to the playground to try to get some of the "mine's" out of them. Not sure it helped, but it didn't hurt. They played outside some and rode the 4-wheeler.
Jonathan came last night and stayed over. We made it to the 7:30pm Christmas Eve service last night, took them to see a light display and then came home to have Dan's birthday cake. It was nice to have all of our children here for Christmas. We managed a meal together and have just hung out together most of the day.
Hope your day was memorable.

Hi, Looks like you had a normal Christmas. Kids are always the same no matter where they are from. I love the pictures. We had a nice Christmas. Over to Amys in the morning and out to Phils in the evening. Janie had a nice supper for us. Love, Mom

Sounds like you managed to ride the wave pretty well. The pictures are adorable! You are doing such a great job with them--they don't know how lucky they are...yet. ;)
