Christmas in 5 minutes!

Christmas morning in the Wiese house was a blur this year. I am not even sure I got to see everything the boys opened but I will be reminded everytime I pick one of the new toys up off the floor.
We got to sleep until about 7:00. Then I heard Parker get up and make his way out to the living room. I heard a big "O my gosh" and then he ran back and exclaimed "Mom, Santa was here. He was really here." Spencer really got the hang of it this year as well. Sometimes he would open gifts that weren't even his.
Another Christmas has come and went. It is still hard to believe.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was casual this year. We attended family church service at 3:30. The service was interactive for the kids and Pastor gave an excellent sermon. After church we headed to Mike's for a terrific supper. Honey glazed ham and cheesy potatoes. Of course before supper Poppa and Grandma spoiled kids with there gifts. No one walked away dissappointed that's for sure. The kids ran them selves ragged and had a great time. Of course they always do.

Learning to use the remote is tough on a guy!

Time to Trim the Tree

Poppa pulled down the Christmas decorations today and Parker, Spencer, and I decorated the tree. Parker was a big help and also wants to put up some decorations outside. I told him when there isn't a 20 below wind chill we will be the first ones outside. We tried to get the boys to pose for a couple of pictures but we didn't have the best of luck. Posted above are a few pictures. A few in particular are of Parker and Cooper in front of the tree. The other picture is where Spencer was when we were trying to take it. Then we also have a picture are of Parker and Spencer helping me trim the tree as well as the finished product. Then of course Poppa hard at work trimming the tree.

Daddy's in Atlanta

Justin left Sunday for another week of training for his new position at ING. The boys and I sure miss him. In the picture above Spencer is talking to Daddy on the phone. I think that I would be pulling my hair out if it wasn't for Poppa and Grandma. They arrived late Sunday and have been a huge help. Grandma's cooking is one of the best parts. No more grilled cheese sandwiches. It was salsbury steak and mashed potatoes tonight. She cooks and I clean. I think that is a pretty fair deal.
