ho ho ho!

I am pretty sure that it doesn't get any better than watching your kids on Christmas:) I was loving it this year- aside from the minor glitch of pierce's surgery (adnoids and tonsils out) a week before Christmas- I couldn't have asked for anything more! If every day was Christmas I could easily have 10 kids...but luckily there is the day after to knock me back to reality:) Here are some of the highlights...

the boys working on the awesome batman castle- thanks auntie K and uncle B!
A Christmas hug...

Mom and dad get present of the year award with the giant ocean book- it has easily bought me several hours of silence (not really silence- he still has to have me look and tell me what the creatures are- you get the picture)..

I will look back on these years and wonder how I did it...and people SAY that I will miss it- I will be the judge of that.

Thanks aba and Papu for our easel!!!! they love it! thank goodness it has two sides!

Pierce on his motorcycle- these were a definite hit- Thank you to santa for these beauties- and thank you to my house which has a long hallway for which to use as a track...

Actually- best present of the year might have to go to this 'santa' for the light up lightning mcqueen shoes. I always said I would NEVER get my kids the kind of cheesy, ugly crap that I have now spent quite a bit of money on..but I can't help myself- look at his face!! Ahhhhh, the joy....


Christmas eve at the 'rents...

You see! the batman shirt- I thought it was cool- but it only presents a problem when that is the only thing they want to wear.

My sweet angel fresh out of the hospital. He had just thrown up all over me in dad's car...

Aba and lex...

Christmas day! forgive the mess:) Note the shoes...

Poor lex didn't quite rake it in like the rest of them- but he was happy with all the boxes!
