On Christmas Morning I'll wake up bright and early


Be the first one out of bed, with the mistletoe above my head.
This is the real creche that is in front of our church. The 5th graders held a live nativity here. Adeline refused to be the "baby Jesus" in the crib for this picture
The fire Christmas Eve, Emma set out the cookies and we read books on the couch


7:30 was the wake up time with Reece up first this year. Again this year, Emma savored her gifts, content to watch others open things, being the elf that passed out mom and dad their gifts and helping boobals open her things. However, Reece again was programmed to search and destroy. He opened everything with the letter " R" on it and then came to the sad realization that nothing was left but girl gifts. Adeline was better this year about opening things and not stopping to play with everything, but she still had things under the tree to open later in the afternoon.



Hurray, something Dora related. Dad and I were soon to find out that Adeline was silently wishing for a Dora House. So every gift opened came with the answer " this isn't my Dora house" " this isn't it either" " where's my Dora house?" Sorry Adeline, there's always next year





Cool a clock that glows in different colors so she can see what time to go to bed and STAY in bed. And an awesome watch from Miminet to wear to school.

Ok, somehow or other my kids always seem to wind up partially dressed, without shoes, or completely naked. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive Adeline. I'm not really sure why she's not wearing a top

Alright here are the favorite gifts this year
Emma : her stilts and the cowgirl cap gun
Reece: Lego Hogwarts and DSi
Adeline: Barbies, princess bike and doll
