MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Thank goodness despite the fact that we were all very sick to our stomachs on Christmas Eve we woke up bright and early the next morning with smiles on our faces and ready to go! Ethan especially! He was so excited that Santa came and ate his cookies and milk we left for him. It's so exciting and fun to see him experiencing all of this. Shelby is still not quite old enough to grasp the whole Santa concept. All she knows it that Ethan is excited and that's enough for her!(me 2)
Someone was excited Christmas morning!!!!!
A special gift from you know who...
We've also discovered that Ethan is quite the little engineer. He loves to study things and build and see how exactly things work. He can put this baby all together by himself. (Even I need instructions, smart boy)
Don't we all look lovely bright and VERY early Christmas morning......
Bright smiles from dad too!
Shelbydoll discovering her new princess doll....Cinderella!!!
A little help from big brother.....
Instant chemistry......best friends!
When I was a little girl my parents started a tradition of buying me a porcelain doll every Christmas. It was very special to me b/c my grandma has a collection as well. Grandma has always been a very special, close person in my life so I always thought it was a special bond we had. After we got married Nathan had carried on the tradition for a few years but now that we have a little girl of our own she will carry on the tradition....starting with Cinderella!
More fun presents...
More fun presents...
Good books....
Cool Cars!!!
And more dollies. Isn't it funny that girls even as young as 1 year old have a natural maternal instinct. Shelby can't go anywhere without her dollies. Has to have one by her side, a little friend to take care of. I love it, a little baby-doll for my baby-doll.
New farmyard friends that Shelby really enjoys (clearly by the look on her face, she'll say "ooh") Ethan is helping her out teaching her the different animals and the sounds they make- too cute
Fun new play-dough kit and cooking it up with Daddy.
daddy breakfast tradition
Yum, yum, daddy. Thanks :)
And this is how we find our little boy after a fun filled day of play, surprise and laughter. Ethan and Shelby both have a bed time of 7:00pm......however this guy was out by 5:00pm. We must have worked him all out of energy and he had to crash early......which was nice we all ended up getting to bed early. What a great Christmas!

Your Christmas pictures are so fun to view. The kids look like they really had a good time. Next year, three to buy for! Love that Cinderella doll and the barnyard set.
Hey, that comment was from Grandma. Mike would say, "Nice train."
