Christmas 2010

December as usual is a crazy month. Derek's finals were intense, and December 17th at 5 pm was a joyous occasion to be finished with the first portion of year 1 of medical school. Derek flew to California the next morning bright and early to visit with his cousin Andrew who just got off his mission from Hungary. The kids and I made another ginger bread house because they are just too fun, and Kael loves eating the candy. :)

We spent the next week enjoying having Derek with us and getting ready for Christmas. We did lots of cooking and cleaning, and watching movies at home. Lots of Garfield's Christmas, and Claymation Christmas, Kael's favorite Christmas shows.

Christmas morning was absolutely amazing. I loved seeing the kids enjoy the day and the surprise and excitement! Derek's Mom and Sister's family came over for a couple hours in the afternoon and it was so much fun to see everyone. We ate TONS of yummy food, and Kael went around hugging everyone about 100 times each. It got to the point it was almost embarrassing. He is such a sweet spirit and loves everyone so much. We are only now getting around to getting our Christmas letter done, and we got a family picture taken on Christmas day, so our update should be coming soon.

We love and miss you all and hope you all had a fabulous Christmas just like us and were spoiled as much as we were!
