An early christmas

Well we celebrated christmas with my parents on saturday the 18th since they were leaving for hawaii on the 19th. But before we did that, seth had his pre-school performance on wednesday. They sang their christmas songs and seth actually sung along. He did very well i was very proud of him. And he sat on santa's lap and told him what he wanted and even smiled. This was a big improvement from last year. So then on saturday we headed over to my parents house to go ice skating and celebrate with them. The boys enjoyed ice skating seth was a little hesitant but blake was a natural. he held on to the 5 gallon buckets for a few minutes and then took off and we couldn't stop him the whole time we were there (almost 2 hours). We told him maybe he could take hockey classes instead of soccer this year and he was very excited! I'm excited to get him in a class soon and see how it goes. Then we enjoyed the rest of the evening at my parents house. So we headed home, and just down the street from their house we hit a pot hole...pot crater. And immediatly could tell that our tire was flat. So we pulled over to see that we weren't getting very far. so we called my dad and he came to get me and the boys to take us home, and ryan stayed to get the car home. Once he got it towed home after 2 hours we then realized that the tire didn't pop the rim bent and cracked in the front and the back tire popped. So we started calling the insurance company to find out that since our rims were after market and we didn't add them to our policy they wouldn't cover them. and then when we got it to les schwab tires they let us know that the rims we so old (7 yrs) that we couldn't find a matching one. So we had to get all 4 new rims and now are just hoping to collect some money from the county to cover the $1400 we had to spend to repair our car after we hit a stupid pot crater! We it was an interesting start to our christmas week.
