We kicked off Christmas with a visit from Santa.
The kids got a U Draw for the Wii and a couple of games to go with it.
Even Will got a little something - a bottle of whiskey. I guess Santa must have thought he was good this year.On Christmas Eve, Jimmy and his family came over to open presents in the afternoon.

Oh, boy! More cars!Christmas afternoon I got to take a nap. Will took the kids over to his dad's to see their gift from Uncle Jimmy.
A new 4-wheeler that he bought for all the kids to share. Will hooked a trailer up to it so the kids could for a ride together.
Here is our annual favourite present photo. Moira chose her Nerf gun that she decorated with hearts and butterflies. Kyla chose her pink arm warmers. Will's choice was his Morrissey record and Liam chose his new picture for his room. (The funny thing is, except for Moira, the others had other gifts that were their true favourites, but I think they may have been too embarrassed to have their picture taken with them. Kyla and Will both liked their new underwear best and Liam's was a Transformer truck that he got from Moira.) As for me, it was a hard choice, but I decided to go with...
the sewing machine that Will got for me in November. My other one died on me when I needed it the most so Will bought me a new one as an early Christmas present.And now for the clean up...
And this is only one room that got partially tidied. I still have the kitchen and the family room to tackle as well. I knew I should have asked for a maid for Christmas!
