Christmas 2008

Man, it has taken me awhile to get updated on my blog. I will start with Christmas. We had a great Christmas. The kids were very happy about all their gifts, and we had a great day together. We had the Lopez family and Gomez family over for Christmas dinner. Of coarse we made WAY WAY WAY too much food, but hey whats a great Christmas dinner without leftovers. So funny..... the older 4 each got heelys for one of their gifts, and they concluded that "Santa Claus must be real, because mom and dad would never spend that much money" LOL!! Here are just a few pictures to enjoy.



Stockings and Christmas tree just after Santa arrived.

Calliope with her in the night garden toys. She also got Makka Pakka. Her favorite is Iggle Piggle and she now sleeps with all three.

Owen with his wood logs, and they are great, because they have magnets, so when you build something it stays together.

Sydney's epet. All the kids got a different epet this year.

Zipporah with some of her presents.

Abigail with her easy bake over. She loves it and has used it many times.

Lynnette with a game you plug right into the TV. All the older girls got a different version.

Daisy with her rescue pet alarm clock.

Forrest opening his heelys

Super bad picture of me, but hey I am 8 months pregnant. I am so happy to have gotten a glider rocker with ottoman. It will be nice to feed and rock the baby in.

Chris opening his gifts from the kids. They all spent their own money and Chris and I got gifts from each of them. Some of them were pretty funny. But Chris and I actually look forward to see what the kids get us when it is our birthday or Christmas. They are very thoughtful, we always tell them that they don't have to get us gifts, but they still do. I got some sweet kids.
