More Christmas Photos

The kids have been bugging me to put up more Christmas day photos.

Here are few more.

Hope everyone had a happy holiday.

By Christmas day, we were all pretty much over

the nasty cold/flu that several of us had.

Notice that the girls each got a belle doll.

Basketball

Our oldest is in the middle of his basketball season

on a city-league team.

They're doing well. His dad is the coach.

As you can tell, I'm still trying to figure out my new camera. :)

But last year, ALL the photos were completely blurry,

so this is a step up for my photos.

We've got a Teenager

About a month ago, our oldest son had a birthday.

Now we have a CrAZy TEeNAgER in our house.Birthday morning with siblings.
For dinner, he requested nachos and lemon supreme pie.
I added orange cream floats.

He can ham it up with the best of them.

Happy Birthday!

Dance Class.

Our 4-year-old started dance today.

She's been excited and counting down for two weeks.

She picked out some black tights and leotard.

I was told today that she is very graceful.

Of course, we already knew that.

Someone is THREE!

Our youngest is tHReE!

And I can't believe it.

She got some fun toys, like a PINK bIg WheEL. For her birthday treat, she wanted Rice Krispies.
The girls helped me make a GiNOrMoUS PiNK ThREe.

She got a dance skirt that she picked out herself,

as well as Ariel and Prince Eric.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LULU!

Christmas Morning

Slowly, but surely, I am getting these photos up.

This first one is from Christmas Eve.

My two helpers and I did a ton of baking...

french bread, orange rolls, brownies, rolls and kids treats. These next ones are a few from Christmas morning...

He's wanted a cot for years...but somehow always forget to put it on his list to Santa.

This year he remembered it, along with a BYU blanket. The princesses.

Our youngest would not let go of her stocking.

She would put it down only to open a present and then she'd grab it again.

We got three jerseys (2 BYU and 1 Colts--austin collie)

and two sets of "real" shoulder pads.

The girls received a lot of princess stuff.
It's a battle axe.

One of the girls got a tent...their "No-Boys-Allowed" fort.

It's actually quite cool, as it takes only one step to set it up--

very similar to snapping open up an umbrella.
A Jessie doll!
I got a new camera for Christmas.

So once I get its software on the computer,

I'll have more Christmas photos.
