A Christmas recap

We had a great Christmas.  I was off on Wednesday, so Meg and I went to the movies.  We had to make a quick trip to Wally-world for a couple of things---big mistake!!!  Too many last minute shoppers there!  Anyway, we got home and went to the Christmas Eve service at church.  The kids opened their gifts from each other and their Christmas PJs.  We got to sleep in til 7 am.  matt and Lauren wanted to sleep in til 9!!  Anyways, they got up to see what Santa brought them and open their gifts.  Everyone was happy with their gifts!

We then headed over to Mom's where we celebrated with my sisters' and their families.  We made it home (with an extra child).  My niece Alyssa came to stay a couple of days with us.  

Friday, Mike and I went to IKEA and bought a shelving unit so I could organize the craft room.  When we moved the girls around, we just left everything in the room, in boxes and a MESS!!!  We just shut the door and ignored it.  It is great now!!  Everything is organized and the tv is set up with satellite and the playstation.  The girls have a place for their friends to come over and hang out and we will be putting a futon in there, so Matt will have a place to sleep when he comes home.

So, I spent Friday, Saturday & part of Sunday cleaning out the room and closets.  I was pooped!!!  I felt like going back to work was a rest!!

Here is a couple of pictures from the new room.
