Christmas 2010

It has been busy, it has been crazy. But some how Santa found his way to our house. Here is a peek at Christmas with the Moffat Family Some of out Christmas highlight were having my Brother Chad and his family here for the Holidays. Madison has a true love for her cousion Ester. They were 2 peas in a pod most of the time. If you were to ask the kids what they loved for Christmas all would say they love the Wii and then their top gift was as follows. Miles-His Hawk Eye Air hog (it takes video) or his gift from Uncle Alan. Marcus loves his Nerf gun or the Marble works. Mason Loves his hot wheels and his Marble works. Madison loves her doll house if only mom would help her get it set up and her Fur reals from Uncle Alan. Mylee loved all the bows. She has yet to tell us if different colors taste any different. I love the book about my mom's life as it will be wonderful to share with the kids as they grow older. Jim loved being spoiled and getting a new Dallas Cowboys Jersey. I think our best gift of Christmas was spending time together as a family playing games, going to the movies and learning how to love each other when it is too cold to go outside. I being a mom also loved it when we were talking about the true meaning of Christmas that my kids did remember what they have been taught. They could tell us were Jesus was born city and place, the first Gifts of Christmas and much more. They truly are learning to grasp the real meaning of Christmas.

On the 5th day of Christmas my family gave to me, Mommy cooking like crazy, making lots of yummy things to eat.

On the 6th day of Christmas my family gave to me Christmas Eve at Nana and Pap's House with and trains galore.

Madison sporting a frown for the day. She wants to take the pictures not Mom.

One of the best things about going to Nana's is being able to build with the trains.

Nana reading the little Shepard boy.

Madison loving on Sinder.

Christmas Eve PJ's Madison is super crabby after a long day. To much excitement.

On the 7th day of Christmas my family gave to me, remembering the birth of Jesus, and the love of giving unto others. The Christmas Tree after our dear Santa came.

Checking out what Santa left in Marcus Stocking

Marcus looking like a true blue Cowboys player.

Only a kid on Christmas morning would be sporting a smile this big at 4:45 am.

Mason was the last to rise, he had a blast with his stocking. All the kids will be sporting new Dallas Cowboys knit caps.

After getting up so early what a better way to wait for Daddy than to crash and take a nap at 8 am .

This year daddy had to work so we had to wait until he was home from work to open presents. the kids did better than I thought about waiting. They played with the stuff from their stockings, watched a Christmas show and then we make sticker Nativities why we waited. We started opening at 2 pm.

Some how Santa found us Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters for Christmas in our stockings. We must be lucky. They are a Hoot.

On the 9th Day of Christmas my family gave to me 4 sleeping kids. After a long weekend of fun and late nights all crashed out on the way home from Star Valley Wyoming.

The Man. . . Santa Claus

After school today we did one of the seasonal things most families with small kids do. We went to a craft fair and saw Santa Claus. Madison was all smiles. She was speechless when it came to him. She could not stop smiling.

She was so proud of her new light up Christmas socks that she had to roll her pants up so all could see them. Madison's Christmas list for this year is Littlest Pet shop, and a new baby sister.

I don't know how much longer Miles will put up with sitting on Santa's lap. He does it for mom and the rest of the kids. He stopped believing at 7 years old. He figured it out, since he is a deep thinker he new there was know way Santa could fly that far in one night. Miles Christmas list for 2009 is a New DSi, Air hog and Lava coaster Knex

Mason is so sweet. At least this year he sat on his lap with our being scared. His list for this year is Shake and go cars and Air hog wall climbers

I don't know how much longer he will be a believer. I sure love the innocence of the ones that believe. Madison told Santa if he put her on the good list she would clean her room. Marcus' Christmas list for 2009 is Transformers and Air hogs

All in all I think it is a fun part to enjoy with the Christmas season. Our main focus at home in the Birth of Christ and service but I think all christian kids need to have the opportunity to believe in Santa Claus. I don't think there is any harm in them believing. It is nice to get the visit to Santa done early so we can go on with the fun of doing service and preparing to Celebrate Jesus' Birthday.
