Christmas 2009

I normally limit the number of pictures I post to 10, but I was feeling a little crazy today. Below is a recap of our Christmas week. It started with two crazy children as shown below. Note this photo was taken while they were under the supervision of their Daddy - no idea what goes on when I'm at work!


On Sunday, we went to Brad's mom's house for the annual James Family Gathering.


On Wednesday, the kids spent about an hour trying on my and Brad's shoes... this one was while under my supervision...


On Christmas Eve, Henry got a little tired waiting for the rest of us to get ready for church - and I mean really tired!


Spike's first Christmas...


Kyra's gingerbread house made at school and our gingerbread tree made at home.


On our way to Christmas Eve service at Church.


And then, Christmas Morning! Henry came into our room at 6am and said, "He was here! I went downstairs and I didn't open anything, but he was here!"


Unloading stockings...


Henry was less than pleased with the Star Wars underwear that Santa brought and proceeded to spend the day telling people that he got underwear for Christmas!


Kyra's two prized gifts - her Barbie Jeep...


... and Princess Scooter!


On our way to Aunt Cyndi's...


... the kids decide to dole out the presents as soon as possible!



Brad's mom with Henry & Kyra.



So Brad was up until 1:30am and got a little sleepy after brunch. The antlers were my idea...


The day after Christmas, Kyra convinced my dad to play with her new dollhouse.


And on Sunday, while Brad was taking down decorations? This is what he found Kyra doing!

I love the footprints at the fireplace! Santa is great!!! But my favorite picture is Brad sleeping with the antlers! Priceless! Ben would be sooooo mad at me if I did that to him!
