Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

We started things early this year. We opened our stockings last night, then did the traditional reading of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

We also played with the watercolors Cathy got at the dollar store.

This morning was filled with the gifts from under the tree. Santa heard that Jeremy likes The
Simpsons.

Kirk liked both the shirts he got this year!

Also: Salmon. Yum Yum!

Cathy will no longer get lost every time she walks out of the house. (Hopefully.)

Sarah enjoyed opening her present from Vanessa...

...and was even more thrilled when she saw what was inside!

She also liked opening her present from Grandma and Grandpa!

We imagine that she will squeak this until the squeeker breaks.

We had egg dish for breakfast, and will be having ham for Christmas dinner. Merry Christmas everyone!

It's Christmas Time!

Sarah loves Christmas time! :)

It means Cathy tries to decorate with whatever happens to be laying around.

Sarah really likes the tree. She sniffs the presents every single day. We've given up trying to keep the bags upright.

There's also a lot of treats being made. She can't have these chocolate peanut butter balls that Kirk made for work, but it did not stop her from laying at his feet while he made them!

Sarah's Happy Christmas

Sarah thinks that any type of party is party for her.

She was really happy to have her own present to open, and even more thrilled with the gift.

Sarah carried her new rawhide bone around for at least 45 minutes. When we refused to let her bury it outside, she decided that stuffing it between the cushions of Jeremy's couch was an acceptable substitute.
