Christmas

Christmas was a bit different this year. Nate had to work so we celebrated it on the 26Th. We hid the toys from Santa on the 25Th, and laid them out the next morning. The kids probably loved it more this year because the anticipation was endless. It was a hard Christmas for me. It was really lonely having Nate at work. And to top it off my family party on my side was cancelled. Every year my siblings and Aunts and Cousins come together and have a party on Christmas. Well there was a terrible snow storm and nobody went anywhere. So the kids and I stayed home all day with no presents to open and waited until Nate came home. The kids couldn't sleep and were so excited for Santa to come. They had a great Christmas despite all the disappointments I felt. It took me almost a full year to post this because of how depressing I felt. Being pregnant and sick never makes any Holiday fun. There was not one picture taken of me because that's how crappy I felt. I wish I would have had just one.

Sage and McKenna got new bikes for Christmas. They were a hit.

Aspen LOVED all her toys. She got a CD player and tons of toys.

Christmas Eve

Every year there is an annual Christmas Eve party at the Anderson home. Nate took the kids for two hours while I stayed home sick and pregnant. They had a good time. They ate the traditional soup in bread bowls, did the annual play, and opened presents. Then they came home and showed me all their wonderful presents and we put them to bed. Nate and I had not wrapped one present, so we stayed up all night getting ready for Christmas.

Aspen got another "Life of Faith" doll. She was so excited.

Aspens Preschool Christmas Performance

Aspen Loved preschool this year. She was able to be in preschool for two years with her best friend Jasmine. Aspen just loves her. They were so cute in the Christmas performance. They sang at the mall and had a cute performance at the Library and were visited by Mr and Mrs Clause.

Allen Christmas Party

We got smart this year. We went to Classic Skating for our party with the cousins on my side. It was perfect. They ran around, ate pizza, and opened presents.
