Merry Christmas

Quite a few pictures from our very Merry Christmas. There were so many cute ones I had a hard time narrowing it down. We had so much fun. We felt very spoiled this Christmas too thanks to both sets of grandparents! N woke up the kids really early so they could open things and play before 9:00 church! They were so excited and it was nice for N because he's always gotten home so late on Christmas Eve he could hardly open his eyes the next morning. This was the first time he saw the boys see the tree!

Santa arrived!

S is way into Monsters trucks right now. He's had so much fun smashing all his other trucks. (Oh dear!)

She was so happy she was laughing right out loud!

I LOVE the look on B's face in this picture. It was so funny. He asked for a telescope from Santa this year. Quote, "Where's my telescope???? I know it's got to be in here somewhere!"

Very much loved tennis rackets from Grandma and Grandpa. They keep telling me they want to play on a tennis team when they get bigger. We'll see! N took them to the park to play. The loved it!

"Walkie-talkers!!!!" Merci Mammy.

I just thought S looked so handsome I could not resist putting this picture in.

The hit of the day as the following pictures will show.

We filled her pack and play with these balls. Her own personal ball cage. E really loves balls right now.

So happy.

Watch out for this guy.

I love this sequence of pictures with E. Our baby girl's first Christmas!

Very last gift. FINALLY the longed for telescope!

After church. We tried to get a good picture of the two of us. Didn't happen. One or the other of us looked a little goofy. I decided to be vain and put in the best one of me! =)

Papa got a gun too. He and his boys have had so much fun together.

The telescope is surprisingly good. N and I were quite impressed when we looked through. B has been utterly thrilled. He cried the first night N wasn't going to be home to look at the moon and stars with him. It was sad, but very sweet.

Going to inspect the neighbors Christmas decorations up close.

I just love this happy girl. She doesn't want to miss out on anything. It was too cold for her to go outside and look out of the telescope too. She's had yet another ear infection poor doll. But she didn't want to miss out. She crawled over to the door, pulled it open and sat waiving and yelling "Hi!" to everyone, hoping she'd get to come out and join the star gazing. She smiled so big when we came back in to join her. It was a really beautiful Christmas. We feel so very blessed and not just in temporal ways.
