Christmas Pics...

Monday morning we loaded up and made the snowy drive to TFalls. We spent two days with Emil & Kathleen before heading to Grandpa JD's for Christmas.

Look out Donnie and Marie...these two can sing, play music and dance...

Finally at Grandpas house

Morgan loved bottoming this thing out...thank God for design Safety Factors

Distraction #1 on Christmas Eve, color Santa a picture...

Now put on your Santa jammies and pose in front of the tree for a million pictures.


OK, just one present for Christmas Eve...

Theron won the coveted Deer Window Cling. And, yes of course we re-gifted it at the Pavlik White Elephant...to ensure it wasn't coming home with us.

We (they) started the kitchen assembly project after midnight with a few drinks in them. It took a couple of attempts because of course they didn't want to use the directions, just make sure all the parts were used. It was complete around 2:30 am...oh boy, it's going to be an early morning!

Thanks Auntie E for doing such a nice job on the decals...

SANTA CAME!!!

So the video we got of their big surprise didn't work. But as you can imagine they were really excited and got straight to work making breakfast.

Now for all of the goods...

Morgan humored us and briefly was interested in some clothing she received...


Kaitlyn and her princess spread. These girls are going to used and abused but definitely loved. A short week later, none of them have shoes or crowns and half of them are de-clothed...

Wow, a Giddy-Up Horse from Grandpa and Ginny! Kaitlyn's was Leo and Morgan's was named Doc...they LOVE them.

A little Christmas Dinner...

Then some Christmas rough-housing...

Good thing we have a strong Daddy and Uncle :)

Morgan and Ashton having some breakfast the next day.

Morgans mid-morning snack...a cupcake.

Then a short time later, another snack of ranch dressing. This girl has been putting away the food...look for a major growth spurt soon!

Theron and Uncle J took the girls sledding. This is the point of our trip that the camera ran out of memory and battery. I know Grandpa JD got some good pictures so we'll do a belated post for them...

Thanks to Daddy and Uncle J for taking the girls sledding!
