Christmas at the Dyes this year...

Our Christmas didn't start off so well Jared hasn't felt well since he came home from the hospital but we thought it was due to the surgery but maybe not. I ended up with the flu on the 24th. Desi came and took the girls for the day and then Leslie took Parker. I was so thankful. There is nothing worse than to have the flu and still have to take care of kids and even worse a baby. Kodie came home that night and also ended up sick. But thankfully we were all feeling pretty good come morning. Kodie was so funny this year. She was so excited to catch Santa and almost did. Or so she thought. She woke up about 4:30 am and said "Mom, I think I hear Santa". I told her to go and see. She came back with a dissapointed look and said. "Mom he didn't come". I said "well go back to bed maybe he just hasn't made it here yet. " So she did, and a half hour later 5:00am she was back up thinking that she heard him again. So I got up with her and walked out into the hall way and once again she had this dissapointed look on her face. She only looked under the tree and saw that there weren't any more gifts. I said to her " Does Santa ever leave your presents under the tree???" She got the biggest smile on her face and then walked out into the front room further. She started yelling "WE GOT THE WII, WE GOT THE WII" she woke Jared up who was down stairs sleeping in the chair and so we got Paige up and opened presents. She and Paige were both excited, happy and very greatful for their gifts.

Polly Pockets, Puppies, Jackets, sleeping bags, dolls, a password journal, bean bag, Heelies, a Wii what more could they ask for???

Balls, balls and more balls. He was happy!!!

Jared got a DS.

Sing it on the WII.

We had toys strung all over the house. Everywhere was open game even the kitchen floor.

Tuckered out after an early morning.
