Here is a picture of the four of us. 
We had a great Christmas. The kids big Santa gift was a DSi XL.
I make these out of desperation. Gena bought me a cake pop pan for Christmas and I over filled it. It left me with a cake mess. I remembered that Family Circle had a cake pop recipe in the Halloween issue and it uses a whole cake crumbled.
Here is the recipe for Cake Balls
1 18 1/4 ounce box cake mix
13 x 9 x 2-inch cake pan
Large mixing bowl
1 16 ounce container prepared frosting
Large metal spoon
Wax paper
2 baking sheets
Plastic wrap
Black edible-ink pen
Directions
1. Bake cake as directed on the box, using a 13 x 9 x 2-inch cake pan. Let cool completely.
2. Once cake is cooled, get organized and set aside at least an hour to crumble, roll and dip 4 dozen cake balls.
3. Crumble cooled cake into a large mixing bowl: Cut a baked 13 x 9-inch cake into four equal sections. Remove a section from the pan, break it in half and rub the two pieces together over a large bowl, making sure to crumble any large pieces that fall off. You can also use a fork to break apart any larger pieces. Repeat with each section until entire cake is crumbled into a fine texture. (If large pieces are mixed in, the cake balls may turn out lumpy and bumpy.) You should not see any large pieces of cake.
4. Add 3/4 of the container of frosting. Mix it into the crumbled cake, using the back of a large metal spoon, until thoroughly combined. (You will not need the remaining frosting; if you use the entire container, the cake balls will be too moist.)
5. The mixture should be moist enough to roll into 11/2-inch balls and still hold a round shape. After rolling the cake balls by hand, place them on a wax papercovered baking sheet.
6. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for several hours in the refrigerator, or place in the freezer for about 15 minutes. You want the balls to be firm but not frozen.
7. If you're making a project that calls for uncoated cake balls, stop here and proceed to decorate the cake balls, following the project instructions.
Tip - The cake balls will be easier to roll if you wash and dry your hands periodically during the rolling process. Dry your hands completely each time, and make sure you don't get water in the candy coating, as this can make it unusable.
This saved the day and everyone loved them. I would definately make them again.
Here are the finished products and they were yummy!
We tried out the chocolate recipe today. Next time Mommy wants to make the sour cream ones!
Jack is waiting patiently before opening presents.
This picture didn't turn out, but it was the only one I took of all the cousins.
Great picture of Jack and Christian! 
We had such a great time. It is so nice getting to see everyone.
Bailey and I had a great time decorating it!
Bailey posed with each gift.
Santa brought everything they asked for and more. 
Here is a picture of Pobby and all the cousins.
It was wonderful getting to see everyone. 
Last night, we went driving around Kingwood to look at Christmas lights. The kids got all ready for bed and we were off for a fun night. Took some hot cider and a few snacks along for the ride. The best houses are in Woodstream. There are two that have trains set up. We had the best time!
Tiffany had a group of us over to decorate ornaments and wine glasses. I just love crafty fun! After her party those of us that work at WLC went on to our work Christmas party.
I also went to my friend and co-worker house for a fun night. Lori served gingerbread martinis and had a few fun games. I have not laughed so much in such a long time.
The kids participated in this years "Cookies and Carols" at AUMC. Every musical group at church participated in the joyous evening. Everyone was there from Santa to Frosty the Snowman. Here is a short video of their new song.
One of Jack's favorite thing was the drums
One of our Christmas traditions is decorating a gingerbread house. This year I got two houses to decorate for my birthday. I love how they both turned out. Great job everyone!
Tonight we got to ride on a horse drawn carriage with Santa! It was so fun and the kids had such a wonderful time. We went Kristi, Maya and Logan. This was a great birthday gift and we just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Must have been some birthday luck! 
Here is what I put together for a few of my co-teachers this year. It is a cute snowman bucket filled with White Chocolate Popcorn. Can't wait to pass them out tomorrow! 
Today, at church, Jack was selected to help light the advent candles.
