On Christmas Eve we all got a set of new pajamas, so I thought "what a great opportunity for a family picture". Unfortunately, we didn't have someone else to take it, which made it that much harder to get the kids to look into the camera and smile. Then there is Reili always trying to make a funny face, so when everyone else looked 1/2 decent she was contorting her face some way. These were a couple of the more successful tries.Amberly was the first one up on Christmas morning. She is our early bird most of the time. She had to go wake Reili up and remind her it was Christmas and to come see the stockings and the presents.
Reili had been wanting this Go Diego Go book with the spy glass for a couple months. She was surprised and happy to get it from Santa.
Amberly was happy to get the Disney Princess Dance DVD. She has really enjoyed dancing around the living room in her dress ups lately to any music she can get us to put on.
Wesley didn't even know what to do with his gift on this, his first Christmas. He ended up really liking the bow the best (as you can see). Tasty!!! Who needs a gift anyway?
We had a great Christmas even though we were away from both families again. We missed them a lot, but it is fun to try to figure out some of our own traditions.

Glad you all had a Merry Christmas! I think getting new pj's every Christmas Eve is a cute tradition and the family picture is cute too.
Jane, it was so good to hear from you! Nicki and I were talking about you not so long ago and wondering how you were. Now I get to see your cute family and what you've been up to. This blog thing can really put people back in touch. I'm glad you sent me a comment so I could go to Kathy's site and see you had your own blog. YAY! I hope we can keep in touch this way! :D
