Christmas Day 2008

We had a nice family Christmas, we slept in...even the boys (they usually wake up by 6:30am) and they were excited to see their gifts from Santa on the couch and their stockings filled. We have decided to give each of them 3 gifts--because Jesus received 3 gifts from the wise men--and then Santa brings them a special gift that is unwrapped and left on the couch along with filling their stockings! Our family tradition is to play with our gifts, eat brunch, catch a nap, then eat dinner at China Buffet--and sometimes we try to catch a movie if it works out....it didn't this year :(

Elijah decided to polish off Santa's half eaten cookies, even down to the crumbs left in the bottom of the luke warm milk--YUK!
Elijah didn't care much for the choco-covered pretzel rod...he did manage to later suck off the chocolate though.

Elijah...eating again...why did Santa put chocolate in his stocking, we ended up taking it away!

This pic makes me laugh...Ben was helping Elijah open his gift.


Elijah insisted on helping make brunch: Pancakes, sausage, eggs, fruit




Rockin out to songs on Ben's MP3 player we gave him...Ben took my pic, I took his! Some of the songs he has on there are a bunch from Disciple, some from his Chicken Little Soundtrack, Poetry read by his first grade class, and a book on CD called Magic Tree House High Tide in Hawaii!


I did a terrible job trying out my lens...obviously I don't know what I'm doing but I still like this picture!
