Christmas

Ethan hates reading.  Santa got him his favorite book "Sideways Stories from Wayside School" and he actually sat there Christmas morning and read without being told to for about 20 minutes!

Dry Bowser!  This toy was impossible to find!

Here's Kylee opening her presents a couple hours after everyone else.  Poor gal threw up all over her Christmas eve nightgown and had to wear her brothers' hand-me-down snowman jammies instead

Little sick Kylee felt well enough to open a few presents

I hate tshirts with characters on them, but I gave in and bought them each one shirt with their favorite characters for Christmas.  Angry Birds and Bowser!

New bikes for all the boys!!

Opening their gift from Uncle Cookie

Lara, Kristin, and me Christmas night in Saratoga Springs

Christmas night at my parents

Uncle Eric and Aunt Lara were in town for a few days over Christmas, and the kids loved seeing them.  Eric came to our house his last day in town and spent the whole afternoon playing Wii with the boys. 

On Christmas morning, the boys woke up and came to our room around 7 am.  We would've woken up Kylee to come join us to open presents, but since she'd been up throwing up all night we let her sleep in.  First we opened our stockings, and then I made a breakfast of big cinnamon rolls and fruit salad.  Then we opened our presents.  Austin got his "Dry Bowser" race car set, the only present he asked for besides a watch.  He also got some Legos, a watch, a DS game, a Bowser toy, clothes, and more.  Ethan got a Nintendo 3DS, which he immediately opened and started playing.  He also got some clothes, a game for the DS, Legos, and a few other toys.
Kylee woke up a bit later and we all helped her open a few presents before she lost interest and just wanted to play with what she'd already opened.  She got an Ariel Barbie, The Little Mermaid DVD, princess books, dress up clothes, and more.  We got dressed and headed down to Mapleton, where we met up with Adam's family at church. 
We then went back to the Winn's and ate a big brunch of Ebelskievers (sp?), bacon, eggs, and hash browns.  Then we watched all the kids open their presents, and then all of us opened our stockings.  The kids got soo much stuff, including new bikes and handmade treasure boxes.  So much fun!  Adam's parents spoiled us all, as always.  Poor Kylee didn't have too great of a day because she was feeling so rotten all day. 
That evening, we headed up to Saratoga Springs to see my family.  We opened our presents from them and gave them our presents.  Kylee got a fun dollhouse and the boys got a DS game, Sea Monkeys, and tons more.  My parents gave us a nice new video camera and new lamps for our bedroom.  That night we played games and ate tons of leftovers and desserts.
