Christmas and Birthday 2010

Finally! A blog about our Christmas. This year we did the usual. Opened presents at home together, then headed to Grandma and Grandpa Pilchers. We were able to Skype Ty in Italy for a little bit. That was fun to actually see him. We headed to Grandma and Grandpa Harmons for lunch and to open more presents. Then headed back to Pilchers for Birthday celebration. Joel turned 31 this year. Man he's getting old. We kept this year pretty simple. But it was so nice. The kids loved everything they got. The best was shopping this year on black friday. I went with some crazy neighbors and headed to walmart at 11 at night. I really needed to get a zhu zhu pet for the kids. So as we waited right in front of the pile of zhu zhu pets for the clock to turn 12, 2 pregnant ladies were in front with a cart blocking the line. As soon as it struck 12, they started loading arms full of the zhu zhu pets in their cart. Well I didn't think that was fair. I only needed 2. So I innocently grabbed 2 from their cart. Who really needs 10 zhu zhu pets anyway. Just so you know, I wasn't the only one. Needless to say, the kids loved their zhu zhu pets. So it was worth it. We didn't get many pics this year. We neglected to prepare the cameras before hand. Batteries were dead on the camera and ran out of tape on the video camera. I think that's pretty much a tradition around here. Maybe I'll do better next year.
