Christmas 2008

We had a lovely Christmas eve and day spent at our house. We opened one present Christmas Eve, which was pajamas for the whole family. We changed into our new pajamas, cuddled together, and Randy read the Night Before Christmas. Lily put out a plate of cookies and a glass of milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. The next morning, as we all walked down the stairs, she gasped as she looked at the Christmas tree and the wonderful gifts Santa brought us. We had a nice morning opening our gifts, playing with the new toys and games, and enjoying a nice breakfast. We later remembered to check the stockings and found more goodies to play with. It truly was a peaceful and enjoyable day.

The day after Christmas we travelled to visit both of our families. We had 2 more celebrations and the kids received more gifts then they knew what to do with. Unfortunately we all got hit with the stomach bug and the kids had the worst of it. Lily was sick every 3 days for over a week and Harrison's projectile vomiting only occurred once but he was still under the weather for a few more days.

We are now healthy (fingers crossed) and back to daycare and work. We had been home together as a family for 2 weeks and it was wonderful. It was hard at times to work with kids around but Randy and I tried to tag team when we could. It was nice to spend so much time with the kids and now that they are back in daycare it's been a little rough being away from them during the day. It definitely makes 4:30PM much more exciting when I leave to pick them up.

Santa brought Lily a Show White dress and shoes (which she loved!)



















Harrison got a remote control car which he loved and feared at the same time
















I love the look on Harrison's face when he noticed Santa's cookies were gone...















It didn't take long for him to eat up the few crumbs Santa left behind.















Lily loves to take photos like her momma















Harrison had to make sure his toys were durable
