My firstborn child - Peter looks like a teenager lately and now that Grammy and Papa got him an Ipod Touch for Christmas he is also acting like a teenager. He still indulges me in some snuggles and quiet conversation and I treasure that as I realize how soon it will be that I am not his primary source of support and fun!

We left Karla and Pat's house at around 9 and got the kids home and in bed before ten. They were excited for Santa but so tired that they fell into bed and we were able to finish all of our wrapping and setting up! Auntie Renee stayed with us on Christmas Eve night so she helped out and was so exicted to wake up and see the kids open all of their presents!
The stockings are all ready for the kids to start on when they wake up!
We tried to keep Christmas simple but there were alot of presents!
Lizzie was groggy but the first one to wake up!
Molly had to wait a good thirty minutes before she could start on her stockings.
Annie found this present the second she walked into the room and could not keep her hands off of it - she desperately wanted to see what was in it!
Annie was VERY excited when she opened her American Girl Doll.
Lizzie Bug
Ellie would not put down her Elmo lotion to open presents.
The tag on Annie's gift - I love how she writes and know it won't last long.
Molly loves her books!
This was one of Lizzie's favorite presents - a dust mop, broom and apron.
Bob loved his Daddy mug with the kids pictures on it!
Playing with their gifts!
My beautiful girl loves her puzzles.
Auntie really liked all the stuff we put in her stocking - the kids helped me fill it up.
Daddy and Peter
We took some time to have breakfast and clean up a little and then we headed over to Grammy and Papa's house for brunch and more presents. Poor Katie got sick during the night and so Pat and Karla were not able to go to Vicki's house so we got to spend the entire day with them. Katie even started feeling better by the afternoon so it was wonderful!
My girl.
Making a heart for Mommy!
