Christmas 2009

Here are our Christmas pictures finally! There are quite a few. We went to my parents house in Monahans. My sister, Becky, and her family were also there.

On Christmas Eve, the kids made cookies for Santa.

Each of them chose the one they wanted to put out for Santa.
Cole was sure Santa wanted cookies with red sprinkles and chocolate milk.

Christmas morning. Myrik and Mia were up at around 5:30 a.m. Becky said they were very patient waiting to open presents.

Christmas day, my grandparents, Aunt Emma and Uncle Mark, and cousins Ray, Christina and Sarah came over. My Uncle Mark and his family live in the Houston area and come in every Christmas.

Adam did not take a nap at his normal time on Christmas. He fell asleep around 4:30 that afternoon. He never lets me rock him to sleep, so this was a special moment for me.

Saturday morning we drove back home and Scott's mom, Nonna, and Sonny
came to visit.

We all had a great Christmas. It always goes by so fast.

Christmas Activities

These are a few activities we did before Christmas.


We painted our Fall pumpkins and...
turned them into a snowman.
The last few years we have decorated a gingerbread house, but this year we decorated a gingerbread train. The kids mostly enjoy eating the decorations.
