Post Christmas Wrap-up

We had a great Christmas! and you? Our Christmases are pretty low key, believe it or not. Our kids get one present from Santa, one from us, and one from one of their siblings. We hang out around our house all morning and then head to my mom's around 3pm. This year was the year of the bike. Oliver, Rosie and Max all got bikes from Santa. The weather was actually in the 50s so the kids got to ride their new bikes all morning. And yes, after much searching I was able to find Rosie a bike that was not either covered on Bratz or Barbie, or a stripper pole on wheels. But, it cost me. At least Fiona will get to ride it, too.

Fiona got a baby doll and a new pram. I don't know if I'll have any woodwork left after the next couple of weeks.


Conor got a new phone (that he can't use because his line is blocked until he gets a job and can pay for any overages that might occur. burned this summer.), Five blank skateboard decks, and grandpa gave him a new fishing rod.


And in classic pastor family fashion, Bob got called away to the hospital right before dinner. Oliver cried for him nonstop until he got back. Later that night he was called back and the member ended up dying. What is it about this time of year?
