Christmas 2010

Well this year has been the year of the Christmas's like no other, we counted up how many times we opened presents and it was 5!!! Crazy, no one is complaining and we hope it continues!!!:) The season started out with the annual ski swap, we decided to buy ski passes this year and we need some supplies. Off we went and found some great ski boots for Emily, who said ski boots so cute that we couldn't resist; she is very excited to ski like the big kids. Britt got some new skies, and we got some other fun misc. like wool socks, hats and gloves and ski pants. Then our second Christmas took place before Thanksgiving when we decided it was time for some electronic upgrading, so we got some new TV's, blue ray players and gasp-satellite TV. The kids are asking what happened to their parents, but they aren't pushing the subject too much. The Third Christmas came with the grandparents when they came to Britt's baptism, (see grandparent Christmas blog posting). The fourth came on the Thursday before we were suppose to San Diego, instead of bringing presents we opened the presents leaving the stockings for San Diego. All the kids loved the xbox360 and kinetic from dad. The little girls loved their barbie castle, Britt loved her new chef outfit, Nathan loved this new games for the xbox and the Kayla loved her new clothes, (I know pretty original, but she is 15 and that is what she asked for). The Fifth Christmas came on Christmas morning. It was a good thing that people sent presents to us after we were suppose to be in San Diego so the kids felt like some what of a normal Christmas. The kids got to open their stockings from Santa and stockings from Grandpa & Grandma Mc Nett, and some presents from Aunts and Uncles. On Christmas Eve, the kids tracked Santa on the internet and were so excited for Santa to come that all we had to say was it was time for bed and the kids in their beds and a sleep in record time. Britt was a little anxious, any noise she heard was Santa coming. The funny thing is, is that last year she asked so some many times about Santa that we finally told her the fun story of Santa. So when she got so nervous I reminded her and she calmed down a bit, but was still very excited for Santa to come.
