Christmas

We had a great Christmas at the Hodson house this year.  Price ended up in our bed on Christmas Eve and kept asking if it was time to go out and see presents.  Finally at 6am we let me go out.  The kids got lots of loot.

Kylee got a digital camera, pony, clothes, art set, etc.

 Brynlee got a hula hoop, art set, doll stuff, etc.

 Price got a skateboard ramp and pads, ds and wii games, and a remote control car.  Before I could get his picture he was already downstairs playing the Wii.

 Jer (amazing husband of the year) made us a great Christmas breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes.  We also got a hot chocolate maker from my sister so we had some delish hot cocoa.  Jeremy got the usual: church/work clothes, but he also got a Satellite radio for his car.

 I had a great day. I got a warm Nebraska sweatshirt, some workout clothes and a Ipod shuffle.  We got a new TV stand and computer desk and computer.  Our old computer was so old and slow.  It's been nice having a decent computer.

 Here's our new living room.  I'm loving it!

On Christmas day our friends the Andersons came over.  Our house was a wreck as we were re-arranging everything, but it was nice that Jeremy had help with assembly and moving stuff.

A great Christmas day!

We spent the next few days re-arranging and cleaning the house.  Our garage door was on the fritz and we thought we'd have to break down and get a new one.  Luckily we found some support beams and were able to fix our old one for now.  I have no desire to put up a garage door in this single digit weather we've been having.  Add 18 foot support beams to the ridiculous things we've hauled in our van.  That list would include a queen size mattress and box springs (on the roof), landscape bricks and lots of other junk.  But I'm just glad we have a working garage door.
On Christmas the girls closet came crashing down.  Somehow it just broke because "nobody" was hanging on it.  Jeremy fixed it, so hopefully it will be good and won't come down again.  No if we could only keep the kids from hanging on it.
We've had a busy week of organizing and cleaning.  Yesterday we took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese to play some games and spend some of their Christmas money.  They had fun and won some lame prizes, but they loved it.  Now on to the last few days of 2012
