Christmas Morning we woke up and Santa had visited the kids, Caleb got Heleys, a guitar and a light up turtle for bed.
Isaac got a light up Dog for bed, Little Einstin bath toys, and Diego toys.
Grace got a styling studio, a DS light game and some game for the car.
Tylre and Elyzah both got an Ihome and a gift card, Elyzah's was to Claires and Tylre's to Finish Line. And as a family gift they recieved Rock Band for the Wii. All morning Tylre spent playing Wii, Elyzah went back to bed, Caleb and Isaac played with their light up animals and Grace
kept trying on her outfits. We had a good Christmas Morning. Unfortunately, mom decided to help hand out presents and didn't take any pictures, luckly we have it all on video.
Our nice Christmas soon came to an end, we were all getting ready to sit down to dinner and we received a phone call from my Uncle telling us that my sister had passed away in her sleep. It ended up being the worst Christmas my children will probably ever have.
We packed our clothes and rushed up north to be by Dad's side. and that is pretty much where we were most of the time.
We had Christmas at Kelly's parents house, the kids had fun, but I was in no mood. And then Christmas was at my brothers, everything was good but again, nobody was really in the mood. The kids enjoyed their gifts and that is the most important and it did take our minds off of other things for awhile but it was just a very hard time.
So as you can tell Christmas wasn't exactly what we planned
Our 1st full day in Florida was spent at a place called Wonderworks. It was pretty cool. A lot of fun things for the kids to do. They played and played, and then we went and ate, and headed for Aunt Kathy and Uncle Doug's. Had a blast of course. We had a fun filled week. Uncle Doug and Aunt Kathy were awesome host and hostess and we can't wait till we can go back again. The kids are already missing them and the gorgeous weather we had.
