A Wii Fit Christmas Eve

As a special treat, since we were laying low Christmas Eve, except church, George and I decided to give "our" gift to the kids on Christmas Eve this year. We also were trying to use it to our advantage for our sleep sake as well. Long story short, Lauren woke us up last year at 4:00 in the morning for Christmas. Being the wonderful dad that George is, he couldn't tell her to go back to bed, so we all drug (and I do me drug) our sorry behinds out of bed for a cute little 7 year old. That included our son who was 17, without to much complaint. It's amazing that Lauren has us all wrapped around her little finger. And to think, I was trying to make that a short story... hehehe

Back to the picture....here they are unwrapping the Wii fit.

We all are having a blast with this Wii fit. I highly recommend it. It is great fun for everyone. Here is George, trying to Hoola Hoop, at this moment he is trying to catch hoops.
I thought I would include a picture of my sorry little tree this year. It is truly our Charlie Brown tree. Our schedules this year didn't give us time to go chop one down, so we had to opt for a cut tree on a lot. I guess every tree needs a home, right? This will be one that we'll remember in years to come.

Here we are all dressed up and ready to go to church on Christmas Eve. We had to take it front of the fireplace this year. We would have overpowered the tree. (hehehehe) We had a wonderful Christmas, and my true wish is that we all could have this feeling all year round. Christmas brings joy and sorrow. Joy ~ being with the ones you love Sorrow ~ missing the ones you love

Please be careful as you travel and as you celebrate the new year.


God Bless!

Love the pics...and love the Wii pics. Looks like fun. Brian has had fun trying to figure out the Wii, too. He was playing golf last night trying to improve upon his score. Ellie loves bowling, too. So fun!

Thanks for the offer of wanting to help with the kids. You'll have to go to the blog and see my last post. I don't think you want to be anywhere NEAR our house right now! : ) You'll see....

Hope you all have a wonderful New Year. Blessings to you ALL!

**oh, Reid is off all baby food. Will that stress you out or make life easier for you? Think about what I can bring for him that would make your life simple. He is loving life right now. Purees are out the window! Watch out!
