Merry Christmas...I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! We sure did here at our house. The girls came in and woke us up around 7:00 a.m. which was great! They were so excited to see that Santa had come! We opened our gifts, ate way too much monkey bread, played outside with all their new stuff most of the day, I got my tree and decorations down and my house put back together, we had a nice dinner out, played a few games of Clue Jr, and just had a really nice day. It was the perfect Christmas for us! I hope you all had the perfect Christmas too!

"SANTA CAME, SANTA CAME!"

They opened their stocking stuff while Troy and I got ourselves together.
A new Judy Moody book!

Santa brought Rudy a stocking too!

Allison was most excited about the pack of Pop Rocks. She is easy to please.

Okay, stockings are done, still waiting on Mom and Dad!

Lord, I can practically see her tonsils!

Smiling with Daddy.

New rollerblades! yeah!

So excited about her Easy Bake Oven. She has been wanting one of those for months!

Mommy and her girls! See my new pretty necklace? I love it! Daddy and the girls did a great job picking it out!

Giving Rudy a treat to keep him out of our hair! He was in the middle of everything!Allison is showing him her new jammies. He was thrilled.

Anne's new Killer's t-shirt!

My little baker waiting for her oven to preheat.

The next Martha Stewart.

Anne waiting patiently for her teeny tiny sliver of Easy Bake oven cake.

Getting ready to take it out!

Allison playing her new Wii minigolf game! It's 2:00 pm and the Christmas stuff is already down. That's a new record for me! :)

Off we go to try out the new rollerblades. Help us!

They actually did really well. Allison caught on to it really fast...Anne took a little while longer. She isn't as gung ho about stuff if it involves even the slightest chance of falling down and getting hurt.

Rudy watching the action and enjoying the warm sun. It must have been at least 80 degrees outside today.

Moving right along!

Trying out their new sidewalk painting. They turned the sidewalk into a little road complete with stop signs and stores.

It cracks me up when he lays with his back legs like that. He is a good watch doggie! :)

Working hard!

Anne loved her new book so much she just couldn't put it down to eat dinner!

These books are hysterical! I can hear Anne laughing from across the house when she reads them.

Me and Punker at dinner.
