Believe it or not, we all went to the mall on Christmas Eve. Are we crazy or what? I know I don't really like the idea of going to the mall on Christmas Eve, but we went mostly to let the kids see the Christmas decorations and the big Christmas tree in the center of the Ice Rink. Yes, the mall was crowded! But it really didn't bother me like it usually does. I don't know why. We spent a good few hours walking around and we stopped and had lunch and everything. It was nice. Here are a few pictures we took:

We had a very good Christmas this year. Santa was good to all of us. The adults made out like bandits as much as the kids did. We opened presents and had a late breakfast. After breakfast, Frank, Carter, Gail and I got ready to go outside so that Carter could ride his new bike. We pulled Gail in Frank's new little wagon (used for yard work). It was a pretty day and we made a couple of trips around the lake. We went back in and the kids took their naps. I started cooking dinner while they were napping. We had a nice dinner and let the kids play a bit more before going to bed. It was Christmas, why not? But we were all bushed by bedtime. I haven't felt so tired in a long time. Here are a few pictures from Christmas Day:
