We had a very wonderful Christmas this year. Thanks to EVERYONE for all the wonderful gifts. One of our family traditions is to open our new pj's on Christmas Eve. Here are the photos:
Lainey in her new hello kitty jammies...they are a bit big, but so cute!
Ethan got some super comfy skull pj's and Andy got some new white shirts and some fleece pants.
The boys picked these out for me and I LOVE them. The pants are about the most comfortable things ever. Thanks boys!
It is such a fun time with Ethan being five, Christmas is a magical experience for him. Santa brought him a drum set..GASP. The clip is at the bottom...we will have scheduled play time hours so that I won't go crazy and we hope to keep the peace with the neighbors as well!
Ethan was putting in the bullets for his battery powered automatic machine gun that Grammy Barb and Marc sent..He is one happy boy! Ethan also got a marshmallow shooter from Grandpa J and Reading and he has been having a lot of fun with that..OUTSIDE of course so he doesn't "accidentally" get Lainey with it. When he loads it up, it is one for Ethan, one for the gun...2 for Ethan, one for the gun. etc.
As you can see, Ethan hit the mother load this year, he LOVES all of his gifts. Thanks for the new helmet Grandma Pat, he really needed one!
Lainey was a bit overwhelmed with the whole Christmas experience, but she really likes all her gifts. Thanks so much grandparents! How darling is that Ladybug raincoat?! Thanks Grandma Reading. I will take pics of all the new clothes too, they are just darling, thanks grammy barb! Lainey got a rainmaker toy from Grandma Pat and I am not sure who likes it more, ME or Lainey. Thank you Grandma Pat for all the wonderful gifts!
Andy's big gift from me was the new APPLE TV system..we can now watch anything that is on the computer on our tv. We can order movies, tv shows. etc. He is one happy guy! Thanks for all the itunes gift cards, he has already put them to good use!
My big gift this year is a new grown up purse! It has so many pockets inside I am having trouble finding stuff to put in it. As Ethan puts it "it is very fashionable mom". Thanks boys! Oh and this one is for Breck. I HAVE THE RECIPE FOR TAN ICED MOCHA from Beans and Brews..yes, Reading worked her magic and got it! I know, I know, you are SO jealous. I am making me one today as a matter of fact! LLOOOOVVEEE IT! I am going to drink my yummy coffe drink while reading one of my books my mom sent me. Oh thanks so much everyone. I love it all!
Here is the little Drummer Boy....
