Christmas 2010

Wow, I can't believe how fast the Holidays flew by. 
School started back up today, which is bitter sweet.
I liked not really having to go or be anywhere for a change.
I also like having the kiddos around to hang out with. 
I do like a routine and i know Cohen was super excited to go back to school!
Our Holiday was Fantastic.
The week before Christmas all three boys got sick. seriously? It was not fun.  
And to make matters worse on Christmas Eve everyone got worse including me. blah.
So here's how Christmas went down for the Founys.........
Christmas Eve Eve
We headed to my moms for cmas eve eve and had a wonderful dinner and opened jammies. The little boys then re-inacted the cmas story, but i was too busy sitting with Bosten in the car. He decided to have a major meltdown since he wanted one of the costumes one of the other kids had. Plus he was sick and oh so tired.
Lovely, just lovely i tell ya.
 The only "decent" pic we could snap.
  Getting all boys to smile and stay still at the same time=really really hard. impossible maybe.
 Jagger is an electronic brat. He wants everyone's camera, keys, video camera's, phones, etc etc and its so annoying. He will just whine and point, whine and point. 
But at least he's cute. So i guess we will keep the little monster :)
 Christmas Eve
We lounged around most of the day. 
The boys were getting more sick by the second, so i went out to brave the crowds to get more medicine and buy a humidifier. 
I came home to find this:
James had jumped in the shower and Jags was just having a ball with the vaseline. a post on this later is sure to come.
We then headed off to Gma DeAnn's for a wonderful and fun cmas eve.
DeAnn had planned out a fun night. 
She had us play Minute to Win It for prizes to fill our stockings.
 It was super fun and these oreo pictures are classic.
**Christmas**
I was sooooo excited for cmas morning!
I couldn't wait to see the boys faces. 
Cohen came and woke us up around 7:30, Bos was quick to follow and so we woke Jags up.
We headed downstairs and it was magical. 
Magical, i tell ya. 
Poor Cohen was so not feeling well cmas morning, but he is always such a good sport.
Look at that poor little face of misery. 
The boys were thrilled.
They got everything they had asked for (which wasn't much) and much much more. Too much really.
Cohen had asked for a Kung Zhu-Zhu Zhu pet battle, 4 DS games, a Jazz cup, and Stinky the Garbage Truck.
Bosten wanted a "DS, Toy Story DS".
Jagger got his own set of real  keys and a vacuum.
Santa also brought the family a Double Shot! This is a hit. Cohen hasn't stopped playing it and he's getting pretty darn good.
We then hopped around ALL. DAY. LONG. from family to family. It made for a really long day. It was fun, but in the end the poor kids weren't really able to play with any of their new toys. Plus they were already so sick and so tired. 
We will have to re-evaluate next yr and do whats best for our little family.
Thanks to all our family for the wonderful and thoughtful gifts. We are truly truly blessed and so grateful.
****james spoiled me like usual. I will do a separate post, since he is always so thoughtful and creative and i just have to share!***

Can't wait to see your surprise & to see your face tomorrow. IO told Aaron I will finally dare spend a little money on his 30th Birthday present since I always chicken out...
Looks like a great Christmas. We dragged Scout away from her toys ALL day too & she just kept saying she wanted to go home...we'll be re-evaluating as well!
