Merry Christmas!

Twas the night before Christmas... And we decorated sugar cookies. Maybe not the prettiest...but they sure tasted good!





We taste-tested a couple for Santa. They checked out.

For the second year in a row, Santa got blue cookies (because everything HAS to be blue). Fred got a couple elf-donuts, too.

Christmas morning, we waited for James to come wake us up. Of course this was the one morning he slept in til 8. We heard the door open and shut, little feet pad down the hallway, and something knock over underneath the tree. We pretended to be asleep, giggling like kids ourselves, as he peaked over the side of the bed and squealed, "Santa came!!"



















Santa hadn't anticipated us having a wet Christmas, so we couldn't take the boys' new truck outside. Instead Daddy Clause turned the thing up on its hood and swore at it, getting stuck in the garage-kitchen doorway and eventually squeezed it into the kitchen. He unplugged the battery after the kids knocked into a few pieces of furniture, so they just ended up sitting in it playing with the radio and throwing new toys into the truck bed.

Our neighbors had us over for Christmas dinner, this evening. It was so sweet of them to cook for us! The kids had fun playing with new toys and the adults played on the Wii.

Since James grew out of his "space jammies" last year, he's been begging for new ones (and they HAD to have footies). Luckily Santa brought some in his size that even glow in the dark and he has been wearing them all day.

And some pictures from my phone in no particular order:

Merry Christmas everyone!
