Fun Visitors!

Our friends from Seattle came to visit for the day Monday! We all had a fun time visiting, and the girls loved having a "half sleepover" with all of their American Girl dolls!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas morning! Anna and Henry were thrilled with all of their gifts from everyone! Thanks to all!!!

They had fun playing, eating and hanging out in pj's. Then they were so excited to go out and see our neighbors...they ran in and out showing all of their new goodies. The big boys all loved Henry's new blu track and the girls were very busy playing American Girl dolls!

Santa has arrived!

Merry Christmas Eve!

We had a great Christmas eve this year! We went to church early, and then we headed to our sweet friends' house for a wonderful party! There were so many people there and it was so much fun! We came home and put out cookies, carrots and reindeer food! Everyone was so sleepy and couldn't wait for Santa to come!

Can you tell someone didn't want their picture taken? I just want to grab that headband and push it back too...oh well, this picture shows character, don't you think?

Christmas time fun!

We started our Christmas vacation with snowman pancakes and lots of fun! We had some playdates and an adventure on the bus! Chad's work had a really nice Christmas party at the country club complete with Santa (who was fabulous!...he sang songs, read books and had a special gift for each child that was especially selected according to their interests!) and a white elephant gag gift exchange! Anna and Henry didn't quite "get" the whole steal someone's present type of thing, but luckily no one ended up stealing from them...how could they? Henry ended up with a sock monkey that sings Rihanna and a money bank that counts your money. Anna got a pink lava lamp and proudly displayed it on her desk as soon as we got home! :) We all had a great time!





Our sweet friend Clementine!


We also did a lot of delivering our goodies to friends and neighbors! Anna and Henry love doing this!

Christmas Pageant at Church

Sunday was the Christmas pageant at church. It was such a joy to watch!

Anna and Henry both participated and loved every minute of it! Anna was one of the wise men and Henry was a star! Both were very serious and practiced at home with the music every night!

An early Christmas present...

Anna and Henry opened early presents yesterday from Grandpa, Laine Laine and Uncle Scott! They were thrilled! Thank you everyone!

All I want for Christmas

are my TWO front teeth! :-)
