Christmas 2009

Christmas morning - still unwilling to pose with his sister!

Excited much?

The coveted Zhu Zhu Pets!!!

Loving his new tool bench!

Vava grabbed his present and ran!

No morning is complete without The Wiggles!

But now he has a fancy chair to watch them in!

"Isn't this cool Dad?"

Zoey wants to know if we're there yet?

Christmas Eve

The kids all ready for bed

Lily couldn't WAIT to go to bed...as soon as we got home from church (at 7pm!) she ran to get in her jammies, said goodnight to everyone and ran straight to bed! I had to remind her to put her cookies out for Santa! Of course she was so excited she couldn't fall asleep and was still awake at 10pm! Luckily she fell asleep before Santa made his way to our house :)

Lily & Paw Paw

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

Cookies, milk and the reindeer food she made

Even the puppies rushed to bed :)

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

We got a huge surprise on Christmas Eve this year:

SNOW!!!

Snow accumulated on the trampoline

Lily's SO excited!!!

Lily, Daddy & Paw Paw had a snowball fight!

Snowball!

Nature in Lights 2009

We went to see Nature in Lights this year at Belton Lake. It really is a sight to see! Other than it taking 3 1/2 hours to drive through the park - when it would normally take about half an hour...

JT waiting to see some lights

Lily goofing off

Finally! Some lights!

Zoey & Vader enjoying the view :)

JT likes this part!

Frost Fest 2009

Close-up of JT

Gotta love Christmas! haha

Christmas is Coming!

Getting ready for Christmas

Up on the rooftop...

"Army Claus" hangs our lights - haha!

And decorates our tree

Lily's gingerbread house

Christmas pic
JT absolutely refused to get anywhere near Lily to take a Christmas picture this year (he's obviously been traumatized by her on a daily basis!) so we had to pretend to suck his hair up with the vacuume to get him to look happy & be next to her at the same time!

My precious angels!

Caught Red-Handed!

Caught red-handed doing something he should clearly NOT be doing....He thinks if he makes his "cheese face" maybe he won't be in trouble...

It IS awfully hard to be mad at that face!
