Christmas 2008

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Our Christmas was a lot of fun and tasty food, and our New Years eve was a quiet one spent at home watching movies and blogging.

We started getting Pippa and William hyped up about the idea of Christmas for the last month, with Advent calendars, Christmas trees and decorations and the special Christmas WordWorld and Super Why! They knew something fun was up.

On Christmas eve William was especially tired, so he needed to go to bed extra early leaving Pippa to prepare for the arrival of Santa. He did, however, get to enjoy opening and playing with all the gifts the next day! Here are some photos from our very white snowy Christmas...

We decorated the cookies and left them out for Santa with a little Whiskey

An Eden tradition, reading "The Night Before Christmas" the night before Christmas

After Santa came, but before the kids woke up

William checking out some gifts

The aftermath

Then there was the snow to deal with...

8" or so on Christmas eve, on top of the other 8". Lots of shoveling for Nick to do!

Coming to throw snow at Will behind the sliding glass door. He gets too cold and miserable in that much snow.

Santa had 4 beers when he stopped by here. I think he may have a drinking problem.

Love the pictures. The kids are so cute, Laura.
