Where to start?

I have been such a slacker. Christmas was awesome, and the best part is it is over.We did our traditional gingerbread house which is always so fun.
Then of course the ward party with Santa.
The best ever was this year I didn't want the 12 yes 12 foot tree up,way to big,but my kids think it's the greatest tree ever. We decided to use one of my mom's trees. First we brought it over and set it up only to realize that was the one she was going to use. Then we got the right one,which hasn't been set up for along time, that was hysterical it was the biggest piece of crap. Somehow they deteriorate in the box, half of the lights didn't work and it was just crappy. My kids,especially Arleigh were very disappointed. Okay more like furious. Shane and I got tons of mileage out of it.Two nights later we stayed up late and put up the 12 footer. They were all very happy.

Christmas morning started at 4:30, way to early.
Later that week we went sledding with friends then had a fondue party on New Years.
