Christmas 2009

Here it is, finally!!! I have such issues with uploading these pictures, it has taken forever!! Our Christmas festivities began on my birthday (December 20th) with Christmas at Nana and Papa's with Uncle Beak and Aunt GiGi. We celebrated my birthday and opened Christmas gifts with Beak and GiGi, since we wouldn't see them on Christmas morning. The boys got electric scooters from Nana and Papa and had so much fun riding them in their cul-de-sac. We worried about Nicholas because they are really for a bigger kid, but he caught on so fast.

Posed pictures in front of the tree...
Grant
Nicholas...

Grant and his scooter...






Harrison loves singing Happy Birthday and blowing out candles...




My helper...



Posed pajama shot by the tree, I do have sock monkey pajama pants too (you just can't see them). I don't know how many more years I'll get Grant to wear matching pajamas with his brothers...





My sweet, sweet baby. I got a new camera and was trying out some of the different settings.





A few days before Christmas, we decided to put a Gingerbread House kit together. It was actually from last year, so I didn't let them eat anything. It was a fun activity even though the house itself wasn't too pretty!!









This picture got kind of out of order. Christmas Eve during the day, Amber came over and we went out to eat for lunch and exchanged gifts with her. Harrison didn't want to pose for this one...















Harrison posing by his tree in his room. He didn't have one last year and specifically requested one this year!!!






Christmas Eve night, we went to Pepka and Gigi's for our traditional dinner and gift exchange. Blake, Jennifer, Catherine, Brian, Jackson and Charles were all there. We had many laughs and the kids had a great time playing and making messes with all of the paper and boxes!!
The four cousins!!!

Now, on to Christmas morning. The kids were so excited to see what Santa Claus had brought them. I am so savoring the ages they are now because everything is so magical to them!!
