Christmas 2009

This was our table for Christmas Eve. We had my sister Dana and her family over for dinner like we have for several years. We also had Shane's mom this year. I got domestic and made two kinds of soup from scratch! Taco soup and Creamy Chicken Noodle (yes, I made the noodles too!). We had some other appetizers and it was all delicious! We played Santa bingo, and had a talent show and I think everyone had a great time!

Here are my kiddies in their Christmas Jammies!

Here are all the kids (except Jack who was too tired and sad to get in the picture) showing off their new pj's.

Santa sure thought my kids were good this year! This is the tree on Christmas morning just before we opened presents! Everyone was happy with their gifts. Our big gifts this year were Rock Band for the Wii, and a trip to Disneyland! Natalie got a touch MP3 player, Hallie got a doll she was dying for because it's name was Hally and it looked like her, Abbie got DS games, and Jace got a remote control Jeep. We had a happy and fun day!

These are the kids before they came downstairs to open gifts! They look tired because "They didn't sleep all night!" The funny thing is they were all sound asleep by 11:00!
