Christmas!

before.....Pay's hand-me-down bike that hse has decided that she LOVES.  Took her a while to want to ride a bike but she has become very comfortable on this particular bike.  Since we didn't have the heart to completely get rid of it, we decided to trick it out preppy-style!

After...pink and green with a Nantucket basket and a turtle horn/bell.

had to put out the reindeer food, complete with glitter (so the reindeer can see the reflection off the moon and guide Santa to our house).

night-night dada

ready for the big day. Although it took us hours since Pay kept coming out of her room yelling,"Have you seen him yet?"  I made the mistake of telling her that I would let her know if I saw Santa.  She was sure that she heard reindeer hooves on the roof.

Pay loves her My Little Ponies.  Unfortunately when she misbehaves she loses one of them.  Santa is so magical though that he found and returned all of the ponies that were gone forever ;o)  This was by far her favorite gift, sweet lady!

1st gift opened was from their crazy aunt Carrie...a streamer ball full of gifts

candy, it was almost impossible to get them to move away from their stockings and on to their presents...strange kids!

the boy LOVED his new car ramp.  Now when he wakes up instead of ,"Eat, eat, eat" he says, "Play, play, play".

the lady got a new camera.  Her mama is hoping that she will come to appreciate how hard it is to get a good photo when your subject won't look into the camera.  We'll see how that goes.
