Merry Christmas!

A belated Merry Christmas to everyone! We hope your celebration was a good one. Well our famiy has joined the ranks of "gamers" I guess with our first game system... a Playstation 3. Tony & I were quite thrilled to be one of the few families to find one at Target about a week before Christmas. This is a picture of the kids while opening it. They look like they've won the lottery don't they? Anticipating their excitment was just as much fun as giving it to them. Quinn said, "I knew one of these Christmases we would FINALLY get a Playstation!" They each got jerseys as well... Quinn a Vikings jersey and Madison a pink/white Iowa jersey. They've deemed this "the best Christmas EVER" and according to Madison she "wondered why we didn't have very many presents under the tree... now I understand!" : )

We enjoyed our trip to Iowa over Christmas although it was much to short and basically just 3 1/2 days. We didn't get to see as many people as we would have liked but enjoyed spending time with my family and Grandma on Christmas day. We got back Tuesday night and celebrated our family Christmas on Wednesday morning and then with Tony's family on Wednesday night. That was the first that their family has all been together since AJ and Bonnie's wedding a year and a half ago. Michelle, Archie and Jade leave tomorrow for a weekend in Iowa but we get to enjoy AJ and Bonnie until New Year's Day. This week is really going by way to fast!!

That's all for now... just wanted to check in and tell you I haven't forgot you all. I have this whole week off and Tony has most of it. He just ran into work now for a little while to get the paychecks out and then he is working tomorrow and Saturday, doing inventory. We might go bowling this afternoon. We'll see! More Christmas stories later.

Love to all, Leah
