Christmas 2008

We had a Fabulous Christmas this year, John was home!!!!!!!
Christmas morning the kids awoke to a tree full of presents and fun. However, upon arrival in our room that morning Hayden is the only who noticed the presents were there and the stockings were full. The kids walk right through the living room to get to our bedroom, I guess Ethan and Abigail were still asleep as they trekked through the house that morning! It started out with a big bang(literally) and one kid crying! Ethan tried to pull his stocking down before we got in there and pulled down a little more than his stocking. Four out of the five fell to the floor along with the stocking hangers and the garland on the mantel. I am very surprised that nothing broke, but we were lucky. Ethan was very lucky the stocking hanger didn't hit him on the head or something, they are very heavy. So after we put all that mess back together the kids tore into their stockings as presents!!!







Moo on her new bike, it even has a baby carrier on the back that Karate Chop rides in. She is doing awesome riding it. Our circle that goes around the neighborhood is a half mile and is very hilly. She has gone around it twice without stopping with very little help. We are still working on using the brakes going down hill!





Abigail's new American Girl Doll. It looks kinda like her and she has a ball brushing her hair and changing her clothes.

All sister wanted for Christmas was Play-Doh, well Santa came through and she wouldn't put it down. It is about the only thing she wants to play with.

A breakdown in the middle of the festivities......I think someone touched her Play-Doh!

Life's better now

Big Daddy and his iphone! John came through on presents this year as well. Of course no pics b/c I am ALWAYS the one taking pictures. I got a new green ipod nano with the Nike+ system, and jewelry armoire, the diamond scrabble edition(no it doesn't have any real diamonds), lip gloss, peanut m&ms, and the new New Kids on the Block cd. (laugh if you want, but I was in love with them in the 8th grade)

Moo and her big wad of gum in her mouth

Ethan and one of his Lego Star Wars Ships. The Republic should prepare b/c Darth Vader's fleet is about to hit them hard!!

More Star Wars

Hayden and his Nintendo DS. Santa also delivered for the boys this year with a Wii. He left the present on our roof and the boys found it. They were so excited they could barely handle it. We figured out that it must have fell out of his sleigh by accident. They just couldn't believe he got them a Wii. I didn't get any pictures but got it on video. It was hysterical.

Running back to the tree for more presents.


Ethan and his Nintendo DS
Oh, did I mention Ethan's avg on Wii bowling is a 196. Yeah, he blows us out of the water. He also gets Turkeys pretty regular which her calls Chickens!




All the kids in their new L.L.Bean sleeping bags. Abigail is hiding. I have no idea why this picture came in sideways. I didn't even take it this way. Who knows!

Crazy Man

They have slept in these things every night since Christmas. Well, I guess we have had company sleeping in their beds, but they didn't care!!!
