Christmas Morning

Well, Santa has visited the Nelson house and we have officially begun blogging with our new internet. We'll see how it goes. The girls didn't get up until 9:00 a.m. mainly because of the really late night. Hanna was the first up saw her American Girl doll Ivy. Alizah cruises around the house in her low-rider blue motorcycle and Piper likes her sit-n'bounce zebra, but mainly wants the older girls' leapsters and any of the gum that she can find. She was just found behind the curtain with a big stash of the gum! This picture is of the girls' vitamins that Santa brought in their stockings. See they have to eat vitamins in big doses because they don't eat any other good food. Nelson's gave us the internet and a webcam, so if any else out there has one, let us know then we can actually maybe feel connected to family!! Brandon got a chainsaw, which he's going to go out and get me some firewood and make a fire this afternoon, he just doesn't know it yet. Kortni yelled too much this year, (the girls say), and Santa didn't fill my stocking with anything (actually, I think the lines were too long at wal-mart on Christmas Eve-imagine that!! Maybe a little planning would help next year!) It's so different without more family around. It's quiet and we really don't know what else to do today! Dad is taking the two older girls on a date night and going to Alvin & the Chipmunks later this afternoon. Right now the girls are playing camping with all their flashlights that their grandma gave them. The Beck side is going to the Tree Houses in Oregon in July as a family and Maimi gave everyone "gear" as Hanna calls it (whistles, flashlights, Swiss Family Robinson, forest music, etc.). The girls are very concerned with their "gear" and making sure their lights work. We've been reading the Magic TreeHouse series and gearing up for our adventures. We've so far ate enough chocolate this morning to last us a lifetime. Beck-Alizah is saving one of her Florence chocolates for you when you get back from Idaho. She loves you and thinks of you always! We'll be signing off for now. Our first blog was so much fun! Hope it doesn't stop here....Write back anyone!!
