Here we are on fake Christmas eve 2011. It seems like yesterday that we were preparing for fake Christmas eve 2010! We had a nice day together. John had a vacation day and was able to pick up the kids from school with me...which they loved! We did a bit of shopping with Shane and enjoyed our time alone with our baby. He is such a fun happy little guy! I can't imagine how we ever got so lucky with him! I often say that if Shane was born first I would have sent all of our other kids back! I'm kidding sort of...
Anyways we took Shane to an old fashioned bulk candy store that I have been wanting to check out for a while and it was really fun! They had lots of different kinds of candy that I haven't seen in years including tons of gummies...they even had gummy fried eggs! We got some Amish popcorn and bulk oats and that was it, but it sure would be a fun place to visit with all of the kids! Shane ended up with a 10 cent price of laffy taffy and was happy for the rest of the day! Wyatt would have had the entire cart filled to the rim!
Later we took the kids out for pizza at our new favorite pizza joint. It's great pizza and loud so the kids blend right in. We ordered 2-14 inch pizzas for me John and the kids and there seriously wasn't a single piece left when we were done. The waiter was seriously shocked! Wow I haven't seen anyone eat that much pizza in a while. Yeah, you haven't met Sam then have you?
After we got home we sprinkled out our reindeer food out in the yard so that the reindeer would find our house. Then we showered and read the night before Christmas and the Christmas story (the golden book version of the gospel of Luke). Finally we set out cookies and milk for Santa and headed to bed.....the kids that is. John and I still have tons of work to do! Lets hope that we get to bed before the kids are up for the morning. Merry Christmas!
