Christmas 2009

Christmas was so much fun for our family this year. Jon has been working so much that we were so excited that he would get to spend the entire day with us. The kids are at a perfect age to be so completely giddy and excited about Christmas. Of course, they were delighted that the cookies they set out had been eaten!
I made them sit at the top of the stairs so I could get pictures of them together...
But once I said they could go....boy, did they go!
Digging in the stocking...
Caught her rubbing her eyes...they didn't wake up early (8:30ish) but she was still a little sleepy.
Santa Daddy handing out the goods.
Each kid with a pile of gifts. We have been so blessed.
Crazy wrapping paper mess...and of course Daddy putting something together.
LaLa got Lawson a guitar!! He was so excited!
Jordan was so excited about all of her Dora toys for her Dora castle.
Hungry, Hungry Hippos and Tired, Tired Daddy
We spent the day playing and laughing and snacking...
and snacking...
and snacking... (doesn't it look like this cookie is a winking smiley face? We didn't even mean to do this--just noticed it while walking through the kitchen!)
and snacking...
We finished the day with by eating the first ham I ever baked (it was SO good!) and some delicious vegetables. Oh, and watching our new Curious George movie.

Like I said....Christmas this year was full of memories for me. I am so thankful for the family and the blessings that have been bestowed upon me.
