Merry Christmas!

Back in July of 2007, Megan drew these pictures of Santa and Rudolph that she wanted to put out with the cookies and milk. She rolled them up, put a rubber band around them and put them in one of the kitchen drawers. On Christmas Eve, she found her pictures and put them out for Santa to take. I thought they were so cute, I had to snap a picture of them before Santa took them.

We had a great Christmas this year. We spent Christmas Eve with Aaron's family at his parents home in Mt. Vernon. For the past at least four years, Aaron has had to work on Christmas at the firestation. This year, he had the day off so he was able to spend all of Christmas day here at home with us. The kids were very excited to have dad home for the whole day.

Santa left one extra present this year for the family. It was a Wii. We have had so much fun playing with it.

Can't you almost feel Dilan's excitement for the new Wii.

Santa brought Dilan an electric scooter to ride around the neighborhood on.

Santa brought Atwood a Spiderman Scooter.

Santa brought Megan a Leapster and princess game.

Because he is getting so stinkin' tall, Dilan needed a bigger bike so that is what he got from mom and dad.

Megan got her first Littlest Petshop toys this Christmas. She has so much fun in her closet with her Littlest Petshop, Pollys, and Barbies (her walk-in-closet is more of a walk-in playland!)

Atwood loves playsets that have little figures to go with them. Mom and dad got him a pirate ship and he has been playing pirates ever since!

Here is Dilan with his Star Wars Complete Saga for XBOX.

Santa must have known that a Dora toothbrush would be

enough to keep Kendall happy all day!

Atwood is getting ready for school next year so Santa knew these would help!

Megan had been asking for Shrek the Third since she saw it in the movie theater with her friend Madison!
