Christmas Day!

Santa wiped his feet on the paper towel and then ate his milk and cookies. :)

Here come the troops!

Goosey did not want to walk down with her sister and brothers. I guess she wanted to make a one year old diva entrance. :)

Yay Daddy! Dora Book!

As per our tradition, we check out the stockings after breakfast...

Daddy is hard at work right away assembling toys. :)

We had the Cochrans and Liz's sister Amy over for xmas dinner.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

This Christmas Eve we enjoyed sharing the evening with the Carlsons and Kirkpatricks. After dinner we had a gift exchange the kids gave a performance, then we all took turns reading verses of the Story of Christmas from the Bible. It was a GREAT night.

reading about the birth of Christ... during which we sang "Away in a Manger", "Hark the Herold Angels Sing" & at the end, "Silent Night."

After the party had ended, Poopie insisted on making a sign for Santa in order to direct him to stop at our house. He put it outside on the porch. :)

Getting the milk and cookies ready for Santa...
