We had a great week leading up to Christmas. Rusty generally takes the last two weeks of the year off and it is a fun time to spend together and get a lot of stuff done. That said, I have been too busy playing to blog, so here is a recap of Christmas!
Christmas Eve games and dinner at the Beck's house. We played a fun candy bar game,which I snagged my favs and then sat back to let everyone else play. Brenner stole a candy early on and walked around looking oh so proud of himself. We exchange gifts with the Solomons cousins, and those are the gifts we open on Christmas Eve, as well as our jammies!
After we got back, and changed into our jammies, Nana & Grandpa R came to watch us get ready for Santa to come. We did Brownies for Santa instead of cookies, cause we wanted him to get a variety. I love our stockings that Rusty's Nana makes us, they stretch and are long and can hold a whole lotta loot!
The big boys woke up around 7 and were willing to wait for Brenner to wake up! Shocker! They dashed down the stairs Highlights from Santa were a Razor drift scooter for B1, a plasma car for B2, and a basketball hoop for B3. Then they got from us a few fun things. Like Braden got new snowboarding boots, Berk got his own quad helmet and Brenner got a Cozy Coop police car, that he LOVED.
This is how Rusty spent most of the morning, pulling gifts out from the tree- we had to put them all way back so Brenner wouldn't get em!
Rusty got me a Kindle! I don't think he realized how much I would love it, or how many books I can read in a week... Good thing there are a ton of free books available, so he won't go broke too fast! I also got a steam cleaner for my wood floors. It is so cool, it doesn't use anything but water and it leaves the floors clean and sanitized! Rusty got a bunch of tools, and a new razor --so remember the Christmas Eve beard?? It was soon gone ;)
One of the best things about Arizona is that the kids can play outside with their new toys right away! It was actually chilly this year, but that didn't stop us. The rest of Christmas morning we relaxed, watched Toy Story 3 and went to eat a quick breakfast with Becks. I picked out the men's superman jammies this year, little did I know just how much they would LOVE them! We busted out Just Dance 2 and had a fun time.
That afternoon a few of us headed to see the newest Narnia. I liked it a lot, and it made me realize I never saw the second one! Oops! I hope you all had a good Christmas!

I love Narnia. We just saw it in December, and last night we had to watch the first one again. Now I need to watch the second one again. There are some movies that I don't mind seeing over again! :)
