Nativity

Ryan was a shepherd.

Ryan, Evan and their cousins do the nativity every year. They dress up in Goldie's old coats and jewelry and Grandpa reads the nativity.

Opening gifts

Is there something on my head?

Christmas loot!!!

Ryan's loot (notice the bb gun - yikes)

Evan's loot

Chloe's loot

I was so excited to find a walker toy that is a baby stroller. I had to get it and the baby doll that went with it.

Christmas morning

The kiddies waiting for mom and dad so they can see what Santa brought.

We had to wrap the doorway with paper so no one peeked before it was time.

Evan and Ryan breaking through the paper to see their Christmas gifts.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to yours. We hope you have a wonderful holiday and great new year.

Deck the Halls!

I love having my home decorated for the holidays. I actually enjoy doing it when I am not feeling stressed and out of time. It makes me be somewhat creative in deciding how to display everything. I love the warm cozy feeling the lights and decorations bring into our home. My favorite thing is to have my house spotless and sit on the couch and look at the lights and listen to Christmas music. One of the anal things my mom passed onto me(sorry mom). Anyway I thought I would share some pics since nobody but us really gets to see them.

Merry Christmas!

Jolly Old St. Nicholas

Chloe was very interested in Santa. She kept staring at him and pulling on his beard. The look she gave him was so funny.

Evan told Santa that he wanted a dinosaur for Christmas. I wonder how he might pull that one off????

Ryan told Santa that he wanted Lego's(what a surprise). It took some coaxing to get him to sit on Santa's lap. Apparently he is way to old for that.
