So we survived the Mayan acapocalypse and enjoyed spending another wonderful Christmas together. We started on Christmas Eve with the Children’s Mass at Holy Family. This was James’ first year participating and he played a shepherd. He claims to have had the biggest staff! Later that evening we traveled to Grandma and Grandpa Coopers House where we had dinner and opened presents. James and Alex had a fun time playing together and Alanna had fun with all the girls. We spent Christmas morning at our house like normal. Amanda made some really good baked French Toast for breakfast. The kids enjoyed opening their presents. James received a lot of Star Wars toys and Alanna received a lot of Princess, Barbie and Pony toys. They were both surprised with the last present, a Wii U. James was a little more excited but Alanna will grow into it. Later today we will go to Grandma and Grandpa VanStrien’s house for the annual get together where I’m sure they kids will be spoiled nicely!
