Some scenes from Christmas. Got some new picture ornaments made which were so cute. Had to get extras cause the boys wanted some for their trees too. I didn't take any pictures of them opening gifts…trying to be in the moment. They all cleaned up like crazy.

Jack & Patrick: Wii music, Wii My Sims Kingdom, Wii backyard football, Nintendo DS backyard football, Nintendo DS Star Wars Clone Wars, Nintendo carry cases, football jerseys, football hats, Target gcs, GameStop gcs, tons of books, Mets Kids Club stuff, shirts, a football, some itunes gcs (and more to come from Santa in Florida tonight & for the remaining nights of Hanukah…)

John: a new jacket, an electric razor, some pictures, a book, some Tums (in his stocking), a macy's gc (thanks Katie)and everything else that he asked for he has since gone and purchased himself. Which drives me crazy just like every other christmas.

Beth: a kindle (ok, the best present EVER. It's like an ipod for books. You download whatever book you want from Amazon and read them on this thing. And its not backlit like a computer screen- it's electronic ink so theres no eye strain. There are like 100,000 books to choose from and you can download them via 'whispernet' which works like a cell phone/blackberry from the amazon store to the kindle in like 30 seconds. I already downloaded 5 books so I'm all set for Florida. I pinked it all up so no boys in this house would get any ideas and try to steal it!! You know they wouldn't want to be caught reading a PINK kindle!), some slippers, a frame, some chocolate, a gc to victoria secret, a gc to the Garden City Hotel for a massage, itunes gc, a wallet (thanks Katie!)

Family presents: Wii Fit, a DisneyWorld Magic Kingdom Board game (I can't wait to play that!!), KungFu Panda, the Furious 5, Wall-e, and Veggie Tales the Pirates who don't do anything DVD's. And about 100 different kinds of chocolate. Plus yummy cheddar cheese english muffins (thanks hakka).

If I forgot anything, I apologize. I think some stuff is still on its way too.

We are leaving shortly for the airport. I'm (of course) freaking out about the flying. (Well, not the flying so much as the crashing). But I can't wait to get to Florida!!! I might try to blog once or twice from down there. And I will post all the cards when I get back.

Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and get to spend it with everyone you love!
