Merry Christmas!

The kids were really excited to make Santa and the reindeer a special goodie plate before they went to bed on Christmas Eve. This is what they found when they woke up the next morning...

Colin's reaction was priceless, "Look Mom, the reindeer even signed it!"

A special thanks to Auntie Kelley who was my "partner in crime"

Colin received a new cap rifle. He has already gone thru a whole package of cap strips.

Santa brought him a "kid-tough" digital camera. Courtesy of Mom's bigger memory card he has about 400 pictures stored on it. His favorite subjects seem to be himself- in very creative ways, and the tv. At least he has quit asking me to use mine!

Janessa received some more things for her kitchen.

Now she is ready to cook with the pros and can be sooo fashionable in the process!

Thanks Auntie Shell! We can't wait to do artwork in the bath tub!

These pillow pals are tooo cute!

Colin has already figured out that when he takes the blanket out he can then wear the pillow as a hat. It's a little dangerous to go running thru the house with it on his head but the giggles he gets are irrestible.

Janessa's is a poodle pillow pal with matching princess blanket.

It couldn't fit her more perfectly!

She sleeps with them every nap and bedtime.

Look closely on the wall- there is a special thank you to Auntie Shell & cousins.
