Christmas 08 via photos......

Christmas this year was BUSY - and everyone made out like bandits!! The kids has a wonderful time, all day long, and Scott and I were able to relax, enjoy our families (which is our fav part). and mostly watch the kids tire from excitement, magic and Christmas bliss..................

1st thing... 7:20 a.m. Matt tears open his "best" gift

I make him pause to pose with Marc
Marc's favorite present

My fish Marc bought me - picked it out and paid for it all by himself. This is my fav.

Then we headed over to Nana and Papa's house...

Where Baby A was all dressed up.

My favorite little girl :)

I think Uncle Scott's favorite little girl too

Matty LOVES Uncle Jeremy

Cousins

OK - not sure what they were thinking

Xmas morning brunch

Matty opening his HUGE Geo Trax train set. This thing is awesome

J, Hil, Mug and AThis is the coolest Lego set

Bug was so excited when she opened her new toys. She wanted to go home immediately and set it up to play ;)

Obviously it was for Ayla. Here's a great pic of Ayla looking like her mama and some of her aunties when we were babies

Sittin' on her present...

Oh ya... layin' on her present....

Who got baby A shoes?? Of course Auntie Rachey did ;)

Marc's Jack Sparrow Mickey straight from Disneyland

Matt's FireMouse that he called "fire place"

Papa opening his present

Mom

Hil made these for Mom's "Wizard Of Oz" guest room down stairs. Hilarious!! She's going to put them under the bed.

One of Dad's more recent hobbies include making sourdough bread. He's showing off his new sourdough cookbook

Molly opened up a Room Warmer....

So did Hil. They were not amused.

So Moll traded Hil for her brown one, and Hil is going to return the Zebra.

I don't know why I took this - Mom's feet

Nat got home from work just as we had to leave. She did not know I was going to take an extreme close up. Truth is, I did it because I'm going to show my friend who's a dentist the anterior composite I did on tooth #9 (It was chipped - "Never fear Nat, I can play Dentist! Here, come and sit in my chair...")

Then we hurried home so I could set the table before the Phillip's arrived

Tulips, simple but pretty

Almost dinner time

Showing Auntie Donna his DS

Matty ripping open his gift while Sadie watches in the background

He was pretty excited about this book

Marc was VERY excited about this book :)

Me and Dad. We're pooped. Just about ready to call it a night-

Mom with some of her stuff from Pelli and Mike

So - Scott got some new underwear.... Not sure if he "set" them on the candle on purpose or not...

Brothers in their new Disney jammies. Check out Matt's new slippers!!

Marc's not too old for Tigger yet!!
