A Very Merry Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. We decided that since the kids (well Calvin) actually understood Christmas that we would spend it in our home this year. It was so fun and wonderful to be together and watch the kids be excited about the whole thing. We started to get snow on the 23 and it didn't stop so we also enjoyed the snow during that time and still are. 
The Holidays are a little crazy the kids would be so wound up about things that they would just crash. Here is calvi he just went into the other room to get something and never came back!
Dad was also busy with work and here is Jodi just trying to help out.
Jodi got a little bigger this last while. She can now fit little pigs in her hair it looks so cute until she rips  them out!
Calvi at the park
Jodi telling dad a secret. She is just being silly.
Calvi still likes to ride his bike if we can find a clear path. Jodi chases him and thinks it is super funny.
I took this picture cause jodis hair is super crazy.  After a tub we can get all of it to stick strait out it looks really funny.
For Christmas eve we went to tys moms house to hang out for the evening. We had fun playing and opening some presents.
Here are the new PJ's!
Christmas morning was so fun. Calvi  had been asking for a tool set like his dads and on sunday tyler observed how much calvi still loves trains. He asked me if a tool set is really what we should get him and I didn't know so we asked him if he would want a train set or a tool set and he said "I want a diesle train with a wooden track" so good thing santa knew where to find on on Christmas eve. Santa ened up bringing him a train, he loved it. We helped santa make jodi a little treasure box to put some of her girl stuff in. She loved her little step stool and would sit on it and put all kinds of things inside. It is a good thing that the kids start out young with santa cause there was a lot of things that santa did around the kids that prob would raise all kinds of questions if they were older.
Here we are opening our presents. Crazy but the kids got way to many presents. There were still 3 presents that we opened the next day cause we just told calvi he could open them whenever. He was super content with what he had, and just played all day.
Jodi being a girl. We also got the surprise of my parents on Christmas day. They came and brought my grandparents to visit for a few hrs. Calvi was excited to see them.
We had my sister and her family over to eat dinner and we all went into the other room and I looked around and didn't see jodi so I went to find here and this is what I found. She is a crazy climber.
Here is calvi camping out with his fire his aunt Brookie made him.
This kid loves candy canes so santa brought him a huge one. Yeah for hot chocolate!!!!
Jodi LOVES the snow, she just rolls around in it and laughs it is so funny to watch her play. She doesn't even care if she gets cold she just keeps going.
Calvi's snow angel. Ta-da!!! We had a great Christmas and are so excited for the others to come. Calvi was worried when we took down the tree that dad wouldn't know what house was ours when he got home from work. He is silly.
