Spent our first weekend with sick kids, and some good cuddle time! No last minute Christmas shopping for us!
Decorated some Christmas cookies! Gotta love all the sprinkles!
Had a great Christmas morning! The cell phone and castle were big hits and the girls were all excited about their presents. Pictionary Man became our new family favorite game! LOVE IT! Anybody up for a game night?
After opening presents we made a last minute decision to head down to Atlanta. We hurried and ran a couple loads of laundry, packed, and hopped in the car for a nice long ride. We stopped along the way and had Chinese food for our Christmas dinner. We had a good visit with Mark's family (thanks, Mary for letting us stay with you!) and then came home on Saturday. We got to hang out at the outlet mall the day after Christmas and the girls had a good time shopping, playing mini golf in the dark with neon lights, having lunch at Chili's, riding the carousel, and doing tricks on the trampoline!
Love this picture of Mark and Sierra!
We spent a good bit of time playing games on the wii and DS, and arranging play dates with friends. (Check out Mark's shirt. It says "No Whining". It was my favorite gift to give this year and perfect for the father of 4 girls!)
We spent an afternoon at Chuck E. Cheese where everyone had a good time. Sierra was the only one who stayed anywhere near me most of the time, which is why she's the only one that got in any pictures!
We went bowling with friends and saw several movies including Bolt, Twilight, Marley and Me, and Bedtime Stories. Bedtime Stories was definitely a favorite. Totally recommend it!
To top it off, Mark and I celebrated 17 years of wedded bliss with dinner at The Olive Garden. Of course, we were just babies when we got married!
The lights have been taken down, the tree packed up. The only remnants of Christmas that remain are the toys on the floor and the memories made.

Looks like you had a great holiday. And Happy Anniversary!
You gals stay busy even on your breaks from school! I like a family that is on the go;)
And I have to agree Bedtime Stories was my favorite!!
Movie lovers, bowlers, mini-golfers, video gamers....I LOVE your family. You all like our favorite things! So, count us in for game night, at my place.
Great pic's! Count us in for game night!
I would like game night too! Yummy sugar cookies. And last minute pack it up and leave on Christmas day-- I love your flexibility. Your Christmas is all packed up... I'm a bit envious.
It does look like you had a great holiday in spite of the fact that Mark had to work so much! I love Mark's shirt too, I think it is perfect for parents in general ;) I felt like we were always on the go, but you guys did way more than we did. I will have to check out bedtime stories.
Go mama, sounds like it was a great holiday.
How did I miss this post?! I don't think my blogger is working properly.
Anyhow, it looks like you guys had a fun holiday. Your girls are so cute and Marks tshirt is my new favorite gift. Chinese for Christmas is the best. Seriously, I'm doing it next year!
