Christmas 2012

Christmas came to the Miller house again this year.  I think next year we'll just go to Hawaii.  Andy disagrees and thinks the kids are too young to appreciate a trip but we'll see.  The kids usually get 3 presents for Christmas and their stockings but this year we only did 2 presents and stockings.  They really didn't want anything and I felt like I was pulling teeth to get them to tell me what they wanted.  I told Andy it was ridiculous to have to get the kids something just because it was Christmas.  That's why I decided that maybe next year we'll go on a trip instead.  Taylor was the toughest one this year.  She really didn't want anything unless you consider seeing Santa at our house and getting one of his bells a present.  Right before Thanksgiving she decided that she would get a Lalaloopsy doll like Ella and Lily and that was it.  We ended up giving her a wii game as well which upon opening it she said, "Here you go Braden, you can have it!"  Braden wanted an ipod touch and a wii game.  Ella and Lily just wanted Lalaloopsy dolls.  They were completely thrilled with their presents proclaiming it was the Best Christmas Ever!  I have to agree.  It was simple, it was stress free, and the kids were so content playing with the only thing they really wanted.  We didn't plan on it but we headed up north and spent the rest of the afternoon up in Honeyville with Andy's family.  It was a wonderful day!  I hope your Christmas was Merry!
