Of course Christmas is always fun with kids. The kids made Santa cookies, red and white striped candy cane cookies. Justin doesn’t believe in Santa anymore and Nikki is not so sure. I didn’t get the video camera out fast enough to see/hear Nikki’s reaction to her electric scooter. She wanted one for so long. It was awesome and when I think about her reaction I will always smile. And Justin’s main gift was the Xbox. How I will miss him asking for an Xbox-NOT!! Nikki made Justin a really pretty frame and put a picture of her and Justin in it. So sweet as Justin saw it he told Nikki he loved it. She also gave him things she was saving up for about a year from treasure boxes and such. Justin gave Nikki two Skylanders and a magic set. Justin has been playing Xbox every opportunity he gets. We also got lots of Legos so have been re-arranging their rooms so we can display them. Justin and Nikki made dad and I awesome photo coasters at school. We love them! Dad got me lots of camera stuff-new version of photoshop elements, camera strap, camera necklace, etc. So on an off roading trip Bret mentioned his jeep looks so wimpy compared to others….so I decided to splurge and surprise him with his new bumper. It was so cool and fun to surprise him, even though it came the day after Christmas. Here are some pics from our day:

The kids had a holiday party @ school. They played Bingo, made scarves, and snowflakes. Also made some snowman out of marshmallows.

And here is our Sanders Christmas card for 2014. We had to use the Jeep, moved it on the greenbelt 🙂 and decided to show all religions. Nikki really wanted us to take a picture and I am so glad she forced us too. I love it!
