Christmas was wonderful. This year it seemed like we were able to enjoy the kids, traditions, and the true meaning of Christmas more than ever. In years past we always stretched ourself and wallet too thin but we decided to go easy this year so we didn't regret it. The past 2 Christmas's we got presents we regretted (trampoline, and a dog) so we made a pack that we would not impulse buy and stick to our plan. We did pretty good although a few small unplanned gifts snuck their way under the tree (PS2). It was kinda a flash back retro Christmas. The kids got things we got as children like Hungry Hippos, Lite Brite, Easy Bake Oven, Operation, and the movie Annie, along with a few other more "modern" toys.
We were having too much fun on Christmas with the kids and their toys that we actually forgot to take pictures- oops. We did manage to capture one of Carter enjoying his wrapping paper.
He love the wrapping paper better than anything and was so sad when it got too soggy and we took it away.
Kirk and Jason started a new tradition this year... The Polar Bear Club. Kirk had mentioned a few weeks before Christmas that he was jumping in the pool but I thought it was all talk. I was surprised when they actually jumped in despite the cold and rain. Well, he showed me!
Kirk was glad to have his Bro. In-law Jason join in on the freezing fun.

Glad to hear you had such a nice Christmas. I overspent this year, but have to admit I do not regret it much. I always spend too much on extended family members.
Okay, how cold was it really? It was -2 here this morning...miss us?
The polar bear club is hilarious! That's awesome. I'm glad you guys had a good Christmas. I got our kids hungry hippos game too, us four have been having fun playing with it. It was my favorite game as a child. Happy New Year!
Jason had fun too! I forgot about that already, thanks for the reminder. We had so much fun with you guys! Cant wait for you to come visit. By the way our friends kids got hungry hippo too. Those great games will never die.
Men, I just don't get how it's fun to do what they end up doing. Good thing we love them so much!
Your family is so cute! It is fun to see you and your family, they are getting big.
