For Christmas this year we got a new toy. We cleaned out the "book" room upstairs and made space for a ping pong table. So we had to have a ping pong tournament. It was lots of fun and MOM was the big winner....Oh Yeah!!!!

Christmas 2012
The children gathered in our room on Christmas morning. We had agreed that 7:00am was the meeting time. It is nice to sleep in a little bit on Christmas morning!!
Hannah was happy with the loot in her stocking!!
Cute toe sock wearers!
Do you think he was happy about it? Oh Yeah!!!!!
Grandpa and Grandma Sullivan gave Haley and Hannah each a journal and some Euros to use on our upcoming trip to Paris. They were thrilled!!!
We were so happy to have Allison, Tyler and Connor stay with us for the Christmas holiday!!
Connor especially loved the wrapping paper!! Who needs toys anyway??
We sent Ben on a scavenger hunt to find his final gift. He had about seven clues to find before he got to the final one. When the final one told him to go to the garage, Ben said, "Yes, my drums". We had a good laugh because he knew all along that he was getting them. He had asked for them and before Christmas he would always tell people that he wished for drums when they asked him what he wanted for Christmas. Once he got that first scavenger hunt clue he realized that was why the drum set had not been under the tree. He is too smart to trick anymore!! He has really enjoyed playing his new drum set, and the best part is that they are digital so he can hear himself play with headphones, but no one else has to hear the banging.
Christmas night we had a hot chocolate/jacuzzi party. It was pretty cold outside so the jacuzzi felt really good! What a wonderful way to end the day!!!!

Christmas Eve fun......
We celebrated Christmas a little early this year. Emily was on her way to Quito, Ecuador to live and work in an orphanage for two months. She wanted to be there for Christmas, so we had some fun together before she left. We did our usual Christmas Eve traditional stuff including chocolate fondue and hors devours for dinner, new jammies and a pyramid, sibling gift exchange, reading of the nativity from the scriptures, and writing down our gift to the Savior for the new year. It was a great night!!
so no chocolate fondue for them. They had oreos instead.
