Christmas 2010

We are still recovering from the best Christmas ever! Owen finally "got it" this year and Kamryn has not stopped believing in the magic of Christmas. It was perfect. We kept it simple this year with only a couple gifts for each kid from Santa. Less is more.
We left Santa some Monster cookies, some fudge, and a couple Pirouette cookies. You'd better believe that he cleaned his plate. It must be a tough job to stay up late and assemble toys. Especially toys like Owen's new kitchen... or "chichen" as he calls it. He totally loves it!!
Kamryn has outgrown the toys that require assembly and Santa thanks her. She got a couple Wii games and an Ipod touch. All of which she thinks are the greatest presents ever!!
Owen's other gift was the Little People raceway. He loves to race the "tars" and fill up their "das". He was in heaven.

We spent the morning at home, enjoying time together and playing with our new toys. We decided to do my family Christmas at Nana's house this year. All of the kids were exhausted by the time we got around to opening presents. Owen got an ipod nano, money, ironman, and tons of toys to use in therapy! Awesome stuff. Kamryn got a sewing machine, money, clothes and lots of itunes giftcards. These are two loved kiddos!!

I love this picture of Kamryn talking to Owen. This is what I get to see on a daily basis and I am so lucky!! These two love each other so much!
We stayed at Nana's pretty late before the kids couldn't keep their eyes open. We had so much fun with my family and I have hardly any pictures to show for it.

We were so exhausted, we slept in late the next morning.

Kamryn has spent the rest of our weekend playing her Ipod. She can't put it down.
We decided last minute to trade in Owen's Ipod nano and use his Christmas money to purchase him an Ipad. I'm so glad we did! He loves it so much and it will be a lifesaver at the hospital this year when he's recovering from his surgeries.
I'm sad that Christmas is over. The tree is put away, the toys are organized and the house is cleaned. We're ready for the new year! We are so blessed to be home, healthy (as can be) and together with our families.

So glad you all had such a wonderful Christmas! Owen is so funny- and so technologically advanced! I've never even seen an Ipad yet. :)

Loved your post...as always! What a beautiful Christmas!

Scott surprised me with an ipad, too but I've barely gotten any play time on it...Wyatt and even Luke love it! Genius!

Praying all the best in 2011 for you and your precious boy!
