That is what my kids have been shouting all day! The noise level in our house has been high enough to warrant ear plugs for most of the day...nothing is more fun than having a house full of kids at Christmas time though! Even my big kids get into the excitement of things, which adds to the fun. I think they have all realized that we only have ONE more Christmas left with all of us at home together before Alex leaves the nest.....don't get me started on that. I have cried enough already.
Not to let that put a damper on things though....we are truly in the Christmas spirit at our house. We are looking forward to the long trek to Utah with 7 people and a dog in the car for 12 hours!! Don't be too jealous of all the cozy family time we are going to have. It is always a miracle when we pull in without anyone being severely injured by another sibling. Those last few hours are pure joy!
Well, I have a few more presents to wrap and maybe a few more goodies to bake for Santa...he has a hearty appetite this year, and then I think Pa and I can look forward to at least 5 hours of sleep before the gang comes in to wake us bright and early!
I am so excited to see our family and spend the week playing games and eating and laughing....we will miss your family Amy!! sniff....sniff...
I will look forward to reading everyone's blogs when I return.
Merry Christmas from the Martinsen gang!!

I hope you had a great Christmas! I know Kristen was sure excited to have you here! I'm not jealous of the 12 hour trek. Yikes! I hope it goes ok on the way home!
Yes..I am just now reading blogs. I took a blogging leave of absence and now I am back. I am glad I was able to spend so much time with you when you were here. I love you!
