Santa found us and brought new bikes for the kids. They were very excited. They had out grown and out wore the old ones. They also got a bunch of fun games we can play as a family. Isaac has been asking for a piano for several months (something we don't have room for in this house), so Nana and Papa gave him a nice key board for a Christmas/early birthday gift. It was a hit!
The biggest surprise came from Papa and Nana. There were a few gifts labeled to the Whole Family. So each of the kids opened one. They happened to be Wii accessories, with the final box a Wii. Now that was excitement and we were all VERY surprised. We have never owned any type of video game system, needless to say the kids are jumping up and down. We bowled, hit tennis balls, golfed, and played a bunch of other sports. It's a fun family activity. Thanks Nana and Papa!!
All in all we were spoiled this year.
And as Gardner Family Tradition goes...we spent all day yesterday (the day after Christmas) taking down the tree and all the decorations. As much as I LOVE putting them up and having the house all Christmasy, I LOVE taking it all down and having the clutter gone and my house back to normal.

We got a Wii too! I may have to start that "day after" tradition. I like that idea! Sounds like a great Christmas!
Merry Christmas! It looks like Nana and Papa have spoiled ya'll rotten. :) (dont you love grandparents?)
I'm so glad your day was a great one and I'm so envious that you already have your tree put away and all the decorations!
i'm with you in taking down the decorations, my kids like them up until new years though. they win, i lose! love that you guys got a wii! you need to save your mii's to your controller and bring it to our house so we can play together!!
I loved looking at your Christmas pictures. What fun! Some game suggestions for your Wii...Mario Kart, Lego Star Wars, Guitar Hero & Rock Band.
I've got some serious drum skills now on Rock Band...you can just call us the "Partridge Family."
