Christmas '09

Our daughter Cami wasn't able to spend Christmas Day with us this year, but she came over
Christmas Eve Day and opened presents then. Kenzie opened the box with clothes we got her before her toys. Luckily, she loves clothes so she wasn't disappointed.

Talen wanted a "band" for Christmas with a pink guitar. I wasn't sure I would be able to find one but JC Penneys came through and grandma scored some points with this gift. Santa came through with the rest of the "band" so it's plenty noisy at their house.

Colette and her two kids are living with us so we had the fun of Santa coming to our house this year. This was Luke's reaction to his new car.


After he found his M&M's and woke up a little more he was a happier with it.



Lexie and Caelen love clothes too. Here they are dressed in their new Christmas duds.






The big kids had fun too. Jeff and Colette are playing Wii tennis. Jeff looks a little intense.



This is about the time the gift opening got out of hand and the pictures stopped.



The day after Christmas the kids braved the cold and tried out Caelen's new sled. They still liked the inner tube better. Luke was happy outside until Colette took him down the hill on the sled then he had enough of that. We have had snow behind our house for over two months. The sledders love it but I have had enough winter. That's why my new background has a summer look.... that and the blue and green colors make me think of the ocean. :)
