The RAT race begins.................

Today's agenda more hectic that almost any other day of the year. 
7:00am Christmas at home
10:00am Papa and Grandma's Christmas (Paul and Penny's)
1:00 pm Mana's Christmas (Kandy's)
3:30 pm home for Karter to nap
6:00 pm Mimi and Pop's Christmas (Grandma and Grandpa Bichsel's)
(the ONE and ONLY bad part of today.....my camera broke mid-way thru gift opening. I'm still having difficulty getting the pictures off of the camera)
If you're not already aware, we're not very good at sticking to agenda's, but we did our best.
Every year, its a tradition that we take a picture of the boys coming down the steps. 


Highlights of the day:

Cael and Gaven both get Kindle Fires = yeah, Angry Birds (and Shane and I can reclaim our cell phones as ours)
Karter liked his new PJs so much that he layed on top of them and screamed :) 
Shane and I marvel at the fact that we are able to get our children many of their "wants"

Uncle Tad bought the boys a trampoline.  HOLY #*%&, are you kidding me?  And now mom needs medication ....

Papa and Grandma got the boys a Wii.

Karter and Kolten loved the dog cage at Mana's house.

Mana (my mom) bought Shane ear muffs????  REALLY???

We are able to share a meal with each branch of our family.

Bichsel family Christmas party became a JAMMIE party.  Check Shane out.  I hope everyone is getting a better picture of this man that we call dad at the Blake house.

The night ended with a return home and a quick game of trouble....Shane, Jen, Cael and Gav sitting amidst the 'tornado' of a living room. 

Merry Christmas from the Blake's.  May your days be filled with cheer.
