Post Christmas {WRAP} Up!

Christmas gets more exciting every year for me and the kids, and I am getting better about patiently waiting about gift giving.
Alivia's main gifts were a "bitty baby" and an electric scooter.
Cooper's main presents was a nintendo 3ds and an electric scooter.
Bauer and Kessler got a car hopefully you can see it in the video above, that was a fun secret because they didn't ask for it and suspected nothing.
Here are some recent pictures of Addilyn, oh my goodness she is cute!!!



January's schedule is filling up fast. I have my annual recurrent training for work. I am also thinking about going back full time, which through the holidays I have been working full time hours and it hasn't been so bad. It turns my schedule from 1-2 days a week to 2-3 days a week. Not a huge change.
Ben is stressed out almost to his max. His store did well this 4th quater and he is also trying to prepare for some interviews that he has to go through in January.
The kids are still out of school their last day was December 16th and will return on the 3rd of January.
Kessler gets registered for pre-school in January and Alivia starts her second semester of choir.
Cooper and Bauer love being out of school, I have been working with Cooper about 1 hour every day on math and reading trying to get him caught up and maintain what he knows.
Ben and I didn't do the Christmas buying for each other this year, although he did get a birthday present he has been putting to good use (ps3 game).
 Now if it would only SNOW!!
