Holiday activities included skiing, decorating sugar cookies with our friends, and spending Christmas eve with Uncle Ben and Lindsay.

Christmas moring I woke up at 6:45 am and this is what I found the kids doing... waiting until 7am to wake us up!  Isn't that a great rule!  Taylor later told me she had set her alarm for 6:30 and asked the others if they wanted her to wake them up then.  CrAzY children!  Below photo:  Taylor was opening up her new Zune docking station from Santa. We geared up the family for skiing this year and the kids agreed for that to be their Christmas gifts from us, saved me a lot of shopping and it was a pretty stress free holiday season!
