Merry Christmas to Us! Happy Birthday to Jesus!

Here comes the boy coming down the stairs for Christmas. He had so much fun and was so excited!

Must have worth the wait. How much fun he has had with this shooting his sisters, me, the cat....

This face means...."For real? A torliet freshener?" Gotta have a joke in there somewhere....

Now just like her sister last year, this is exactly what she asked for. Currently her sister is ready to choke me for comparing them....HA!
Tell me this isn't styling!

Keep in mind that this picture was taken while there was motion so she doesn't normally look like this....or so she says.......She has had SOOOOO much fun with this. It was actually something she asked for and was told no. (cause we had already gotten in and hid it very well)

The WHOLE family has had fun with this. Of course, since we've been adamantly watching the complete seasons of Friends regularly, we all know the answers so when we all get to answer there's lots of yelling and laughing. It's great! This will be remembered for years to come. And this daughter is obsessed!

These were picked out a LONG time before Christmas and she looks oh so cute in them. She is becoming quiet the young lady. Developing into her own person. I'm so proud of her. She's beautiful with a soft personality and a gentleness rarely found.

Tell me this isn't a priceless picture!
She had asked for one of these for a long, long time. The bad part is, there's a glitch and I can't get the software to load on the computer so the pictures can be downloaded. She was a shutterbug till the camera was full!

It was so big we didn't have anything else big enough to cover it with. So he peak under the blanket.....
Pictures had to be taken quickly because as soon as he caught site he was moving like lightening!
So the deal was, to go outside you have to have clothes on. Then he needed a coat and shoes. These are the clothes he came down with. When we got the door open, he was out like a flash. I just knew he was going to flip it over on himself in the first ten minutes.

Now, he did run into my van with it. And the picnic table. And a tree. And the side of the house. And the trampoline. The mailbox. The swingset. The neighbors trashcans. But so far as yet, (knock on wood), he has not flipped it. When his sister is on there with him, he scares the dickens out of her. It's hilarious!

This is Mom's present. You can't believe how surprised I was! Bling Bling baby! And a beautiful jewelry box to go with it! I knew he had been looking for a long while to find one, but I had NO clue he had gotten one. Well, I saw the receipt to the jewelry store....so I had BETTER have gotten some jewerly....lol!

We had so much fun and such a good Christmas. Merry Christmas Jesus!
