Christmas At the Robisons!



I guess it is time to post our Christmas pictures.   We have had so much fun during the Christmas break that I just didn't want to take the time to do it.  Tomorrow the kids go back to school and I'm sad to see the holidays come to an end.  We have had a great time just relaxing, playing in the snow, skiing, playing games and going to the movies.  We have stayed up way to late and slept in every morning!  It is going to be hard to get up tomorrow and get the kids off to school.  We had a wonderful Christmas spent here at home.  We woke up Christmas morning to snow and it didn't stop all day.  It was so fun to sit and open our presents and watch the snow coming down. The kids have had a great time playing in our backyard in the snow.  They go out each day about 100 times!  I'm getting tired of helping them get snow clothes on and off!!


We had a nice Christmas Eve dinner with the traditional cranberry eggnog that the kids love!

We put the kids in charge of the nativity each year and again they did a great job getting the costumes all out and getting everyone ready.  We also had each of the girls play the piano and then we got our musical bells out and we each played parts in some songs.  Then I did the sand dollar legend and as usual cried as I told it.  I don't think there is a year that I haven't cried yet!

The kids wanted to make cookies for Santa so we made some quick cookies before they went to bed!  We all get to open one present on Christmas Eve and it is always new pajamas!  

Christmas morning was fun we had the kids wait on the stairs and we had each one come in to see what santa had left for them.  It was so fun to see each one and the reaction on their faces as they found their stuff.  Once again we were all spoiled this Christmas!

Brianna got her first digital camera!

Heidi got a new ipod!

Mallory got an american girl doll!

Caleb got a remote control car and an ipod shuffle!



We have each of the kids lay out all their presents when we are done so we can see what they got.  In all the commotion of opening we miss half of what they open and love to see what they got!
