Christmas 2009





The kids, well all but Isaac, woke up at 8 am or so.. Isaac got woken up shortly after that.. they opened their stockings to see what Santa brought.. They each got the Crayola Twistables, but I thought it was cute as they refered to them as "scripture markers" :)

We had breakfast tacos then opened gifts..

Each year I make the kids a gift







Nana made them vests



The kids made a few gifts as well.. Abigail made necklaces for everyone and Jacob made pillows for Quinten and Daddy. Quinten made a gingerbread man for Urijah.. All of them did a really good job.

Cousin Kym also sent some beautifully wrapped gifts. The kids loved them..

We spent dinner with some friends from Church. Joe made a turkey with bacon on it that was a big hit.

We had several secret santa's this year.. We are very appreciative.. and one was particularly creative .. If you are reading this Thank you!

I finally got the kids Christmas pics done.. Taking pics of several small children is kinda like the clown car at the circus.. But these pics are still adorable!

  1. Love the pics! Maybe you can take some of my tribe on Friday... We haven't been able to get everyone together and dressed appropriately yet for our family portrait, and I want a current one to send to my MIL in Mexico...
