Merry Christmas

Christmas was a very special occasion this year, for both the kids and the parents! Natalie and Amanda have reached the age where they know Santa keeps track of who is naughty or nice. And Will, who is always wanting to do everything like his big sisters and seems to be older than his age, wanted Santa to bring him a bicycle and a scooter. Everyone had a great time opening their presents and the joy and excitement on the kids faces was more than Mom and Dad could ask for. The morning started with the kids checking out their stockings filled with goodies from ole' Saint Nick!

Will finds some chocolate near the bottom of the stocking! So much for a healthy Christmas breakfast!

It's Slinky, it's Slinky. For fun it's a wonderful toy.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky. It's fun for a girl or a boy.
It's fun for a girl or boy!"

Natalie is soooo excited to open presents!

Will with a mouth full of chocolate! What else is there to eat on Christmas morn'.

Amanda eating her chocolate treat and showing off her Christmas PJ's.

The kids received a world map, and began to call out all the States they know from their school memorization songs.

Here is Will's impersonation of a reindeer.

And Amanda as a kitty!

Natalie too! Meow!

Natalie wins the prize for facial expressions...and funny faces. She has many to choose from and demonstrated many throughout the day.

Amanda is our puzzle queen, and here she received a dance studio floor puzzle.

The girls received some wonderful baby dolls from Grandma Zena, and were so excited to have their "own" babies to take care of all their baby needs.

Natalie and Amanda are also into shoes, go figure being girls and all....Here, Amanda open up a pair of her new ruby red sparkly slippers. Watch out Wicked Witch, these girls will not easily give up the beauties.

Sable making sure the new babies are only toys...three kids in the house is enough for her!

Will's playful sports rubber boots!

Some boxes were so big that they kids had to use teamwork to get them open!

Christmas truly is a magical time for the little people and the big people, alike.

We hope yours was merry and bright!
