Here's a short video of Erin Christmas morning. It was a kid's wonderland in the living room. Santa is a super guy!

Christmas at Home...
On Christmas Eve we had our own little Mize Christmas. All of our traveling was over and we were home for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Gram and Pawpaw were home too so they came over for the evening and then came over again at 5:45 on Christmas Day to be here when we got Santa presents.
Following Wistner tradition, we opened our presents to each other on Christmas Eve. Erin got an ipad as her big present and she loves it. I had downloaded a bunch of Disney apps and she played for a long time on the one where you color Mickey and the Clubhouse. I got my boots and a necklace that I wanted. Tommy got a mini-fridge for the garage or patio. He hasn't decided exactly where he's going to set it up. While he's off this week, he's going to find the perfect spot for it.
Christmas morning was Santa. Erin got a princess tent and several other things. It certainly pays to be an only child!! We totally over did it, but it's so fun to watch her get so excited. She went from toy to toy and checked them all out. So far, the Fisher Price Princess castle is her fav. We've played it a 1,000 times. She likes the tent set up in the living room so she can watch TV and lay in it at the same time. She also got a Minnie Mouse blanket and she's wrapped up in it as I write this.
Here are some of the pics from Christmas morning and the video we shot of her coming down the stairs is the next post.

W.A.M. Christmas...
Wistner, Ammerman, Mize Christmas was a super success.
Instead of cooking, we ordered lasagna and fettuccini. It was super easy and turned out to be a good thing. Of course, we tried to get the kids to eat before presents but that wasn't too successful. They snacked but were too anxious to open presents. I think Erin was the ring leader on that but William was happy to follow.
William got a tractor riding toy from Gram and Pawpaw, so Erin got in her car and joined him for a spin in the driveway. She ended up having her first crash with a vehicle in the cul-de-sac. Luckily it was Pawpaw's truck. She sometimes forgets to listen and ALWAYS drives in high speed. She was going full blast and ran into the back of the truck at the trailer hitch. The tailgate was down and she came inches from hitting her head. It scared us all to death, but she just laughed and kept on trucking.
We moved on to the inside presents and the kids had a blast opening all of them.
Here are a few pics from the day! I think the big box could have been the best present for Billy the Kid!

Shame on Sparkle...
She went to bed last night without moving. Shame on Sparks.
Out of desperation, she found a spot in the art niche amongst the decorations.

Mize Country Christmas - 2013
We celebrated Christmas with the Mizes in the Country yesterday. We did this so we can be home on Christmas Day so the kiddos can play with their Santa presents.
We had a great time and again, I have to brag on the kids. They were terrific. It was raining so they didn't get to play outside much but they were happy as can be playing inside and Erin made Pepaw and the boys watch Tinkerbell - Secret of the Wings. (You can see it on the TV in the background in the picture of the 3 kids.)
The kids went first unwrapping presents. We did it in age order per Jake's request...hmmmm. They were very patient waiting for the kid in front of them to open presents. Luke did some supervising of the others, but they were apparently performing up to snuff. Erin did get ticked at him one time for his "help". It was too funny.
When it was the adult time to open presents we had a good time watching the kids again. They had so much fun unwrapping their own stuff that they "helped" us unwrap our stuff. It was chaos, but the best kind of chaos. I manned the trash bag to try and keep us from losing parts of toys and presents. I think we were successful and made it home with everything in tack.
