Merry Christmas everyone! We had a wonderful time at our house with the 4 of us (still weird to hear that)! This is our Christmas best after the later Christmas program at church. It was a beautiful program, & Lauren got to sing in the choir, with the Young Women, as well as a duet. 
Sophie was excited to see what Santa brought us!
Looks like Santa enjoyed his treats. Sophie decided he needed pretzels & fruit-hey-he can't always have cookies & milk!
Our tree & gifts.
The boys in their Christmas jammies. We opened those Christmas Eve, after we spetn teh evening eating a shared dinner with our friends, the Rusts, & then acted out the nativity. Guess who played baby Jesus...he had a lot of hair this year!
Sophie gave Ryan a Build-A-Bear, named Oscar that she helped make. We're glad she loves him so, even if it is too much at times.
Justin got his PS3 game, & he loves it!
Sophie got a new backpack for school (princess, of course), & was excited that Kitty could fit inside when she takes it to Preschool. By the way, Kitty often waits for Sophie at the office desk outside her Preschool class where she can always see her (Kitties aren't allowed in preschool!).
Hooray! Santa brought the flashlight. Sophie immediately zoomed off "lighting the way" wherever she or anyone else needed to go. We're surprised the abtteries haven't run out yet.
Lauren got her Roomba!!! (robot vacuum) We've had fun watching it zoom around the house cleaning. It's pretty cool!! It still needs a name (we just call it Roomba)..any ideas?
Kitty is sporting Sophie's new hair bows (thanks Aunt Amber!)
Charlie got his doggie treats in his stocking.
Ryan sporting his new Bumbo seat. Even though his neck is veyr strong, he's not quite ready for it.
Awww! He loves his Oscar bear that talks & gives him kisses.
Daddy daughter pic-Lauren's goof balls! Here Sophie's holding her play hair dryer-she loves her Princess makeup kit & does her hair & makeup with Mama now.
Sure seems like you guys had a great Christmas! It's funny how when you get older you want things you need. You got a robot vacuum and I got some knives. I think you should name it Reximus (or just Rex). Hope all is well! Talk to you later!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with kids and flashlights? My boys love playing with them, and I even thought about getting them some for christmas, but I didn't!!! Thats funny that that is what Sophie was asking for! I wish we got to see you guys more, that little girl sounds like such a ham!!
ReplyDeleteDo you like your Roomba? Jared wants to get one, but we have a perfectly good vaccuum already, so I won't let him spend the money.
