Christmas

Christmas Morning at our house! Trenton was so excited. It was nice to see him get excited since last year he didn't really get it. Ava of course doens't care. she would rather just play with the wrapping paper, which is exactly why we didn't get her a ton of presents. we spent the morning at our house doing Christmas and having a big brunch. Then the kids took naps and around 3pm we went over to Grandma's house for a big family christmas. It was nice to see everyone that i haven't seen in a while. We were there till the end of the night. On monday we had barak's mom and dad and brothers and sisters over to our house for Christmas. I didn't get any pictures of that though. I think Jennie took a bunch so if I get some i'll post them later. I can't believe how exhausting it is to cook and clean and prepare for everything, plus take care of the kids. Now I know why my mom was always so tired at the end of the day when I was a kid. It is nice to finally be back to our routine and back to normal. All the christmas stuff is put away till next year!
