Ken had a horrible schedule this year for Christmas. He worked the late shift Christmas Eve and then came home to try and get a few hours of sleep before he had to leave again at noon Christmas day. The only time we saw him Christmas day was to say goodbye as he left for work. Since he wasn't around Christmas day we decided to postpone our celebrations till he could be there. We spent some time Christmas Eve decorating brown paper bags to use as wrapping paper.

| Kailyn got some Mad Libs. |
 |
| Jordan has been begging for play make-up. I told her no way, for a number of reasons. I did get her some "lip gloss" and that seemed to make her happy. |
 |
| Chase got Spiderman stamps and Caden a Spiderman puzzle. |
 |
| I found some boxes of old books we hadn't gotten out. I took 3 of them and wrapped them up for Ava. Ava was so excited. She carried them around saying my books and insisted on having them next to her when she slept. |
After our little present opening we went down to Aunt Brenda's and Uncle Andrew's. We went sledding, made gingerbread houses, and had dinner. The kids had so much fun, making Christmas a great day after all.

| Before the frosting could even harden, these two had picked off and eaten all of the candy on Becky's gingerbread house. |
