'Twas a Jolly Good Time!

Not a whole lot of time to write posts this week, but we wanted to throw up some pictures from our recent Christmas trip.   A fantastic time was had by all!!!

Our presents for Santa!!  Take a close look at Katie's note and read the last line.  "And can I have a bell from your sleigh?"  Nice last minute request, kid.  Luckily, she has a super-nice Daddy that ran to the dollar store to pick up three of "Santa's bells."  The look on their faces in the morning were priceless.

Somebody's ready for Santa to come!!!

Reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas" at bedtime.  The kids were nearly crawling out of their skin with excitement by this point.

Now that's a @#$%-load of loot!!!!

One of Katie's favorite gifts:  her new Razor scooter.  (Sigh...this will certainly delay her wanting to take the training wheels off of the bike, won't it?)

Crazy Girl stacking her new soft blocks.

Michael and his new sleeping buddy, Scarecrow!!

And then Grammy Claus arrived, bearing a multitude of gifts.  (And, our small condo silently weeped....)

Hanging out with some cousins.

Our usually shy Nevie, bonding with cousin Kira (aka, Katie's 9-year-old idol).
