Christmas Eve reading Isaac's Night before Christmas art book. It is darling. Knowing we would have limited time with Mike Christmas day we opened a few presents the night before.

We started the day early Christmas morning opening stockings before Mike headed out the door to work.

Santa did well with the stockings. He managed to throw in a few toys that would occupy the kids for 9 hours until Mike was able to come home for a short time and open gifts.

Isaac played with his webkinz monkey for hours throughout the day. Lucas and I joined in and really enjoyed it.

Lucas got a pretty lame DS game- Diego Safari that even Ariel was able to play. His Star Wars galactic heroes and millennium falcon were really cool and provided hours of imaginative play.

The BIG surprise was the Wii setup in the basement with Lovesac for lots of good playing and snuggling.

I am amazed at those silhouettes! They look EXACTLY like the kids. Mike has a good eye and an artistic hand. He's definitely in the right business. Where will you hang them?
I'm so glad to hear NOW that it was happy THEN. That's a good quality to possess.
Love the silhouettes. Those are priceless. Does he want to make some for us?! I want to see them when they are hanging on the wall indeed.
Happy New Year cousin!
CUTE Jammies! I need to get mine earlier next year so I can get matching ones! Sounds like fantastic times indeed...minus the snow. We visited Frank's sister in Arizona after Christmas and we didn't want to come home...
next year when you buy your Christmas jammies, call me so i can order the same ones - yours are always the cutest and i suffer pajama envy year after year!
I LOVE those striped jammies. So cute . And those silhouettes are great too. Merry Christmas!
I love the game room you set up. It looks like a fun Christmas even though it happened in shifts. You are the master of pulling those kind of things off. The silhouettes are amazing.
