Christmas Eve 2008

The Pirate and The Mermaid opened presents from the family tonight. We had our usual pizza and drinks. The Mermaid kept saying "all for me???" over and over. Very cute!!!
The Pirate loved all his gifts. The family picked out great gifts for them. I wish I had got a shot of the gift Aunt Staci got The Pirate. But we were too busy holding him up and laughing while he was on his Heelys. I think he is gonna need a butt pad!

I just picked some shots from the present opening tonight. The kids say "thank you!'. They have a lot of coloring, watching, playing and falling to do for the next week or so!

Couldn't Wait...

to get home from lunch to open his new Lite Brite and make some art. He made a picture of an ice cream cone. It is actualy warm enough outside to eat it...84 degrees on Christmas Eve!

On Vacation and Sick in Bed

They BOTH take after their Mommy....They love art!

Why is there a "tree" in the house and you put "what" on it? Why?????

Playing Santa Santa and Rudolph

We got our letters from Santa! Lights are on!

I have been sick in bed. Yuck! I think I had the flu....not sure exactly what I had but I was in bed or on the couch all weekend. It happens every year because things get crazy at school. With two kids now in school...it's REALLY crazy! Christmas programs, chorus programs, Christmas/Holiday Card Contests (one of my art students won!...go Sofia!!!!), make holiday treats for the staff, etc. I guess I was Pooped!!!!! The kids spent last week making gifts for their teachers, decorating the tree as far UP as they could go, getting their letters from Santa and playing Santa and Rudolph. Daddy managed to finish the lights after he fell off the roof...he is OK. The ladder and the flood light in the planter are not!

We have not been to see Santa...it is on the list. If I could find that list....somewhere?????
