Christmas 2009

This holiday season was an exciting one. Of course, I baked too many cookies and spent too much money but the kids had a wonderful time. The kids and I went to my mom and grandmother's on Christmas Eve to open gifts; my aunt and uncle met us there with many more gifts. Connor was so excited to see his very first big boy guitar...I hope he takes to it-he loves music. Paige and Bree were given twin baby dolls that are able to talk and sing back and forth through a sensor on the sides of their heads. It's pretty amazing to watch. The best part of the day was watching the girls open their gifts for the first time. Never have they tore into a gift and it was a sight to see. That evening the kids received their traditional Christmas Eve pajamas from Santa before Connor wrote Santa a note and left out cookies and milk.

Bright and early the next morning, Connor was ready to go and minutes later every gift was open. I feel so very fortunate to have such a wonderful husband who is able to provide our family with such happiness. The morning was followed by dinner made by Pete's mom. It was a wonderful ending to a wonderful holiday. Here are a few pics of the holiday.
