Christmas eve 08

Before tonight I’d never seen kids leave something for Santa… I won’t forget it soon. We spent the evening with some friends and had a wonderful Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas, everyone.

monday’s photo 08 dec 08

This is one of my favorite photos from yesterday. Little Tucker was so cute to watch when he was around Santa! We were the first family to show up, and as soon as Tucker spoted the guy in red, he took off across the room and scrambled up onto Santa’s lap. There are so many […]

i met santa.

I met Santa and Mrs. Claus yesterday and got photos of some really excited kids. I tried to keep my distance, but somehow, I ended up sitting on Santa’s lap asking him if he got my letter, and telling him I wanted a puppy… He asked me how long it had been since I’ve sat […]

boxing day

This is the beautiful sweater that was on my Christmas list this year… Thanks mom and dad :)
Today was a pretty normal day… Grocery shopping, then laundry. I made a set of grey gloves while watching He-man for the first time ever. Apparently Chris watched it all the time as a kid, and his parents […]

presents!!!!! yey.

We were getting all kinds of packages delivered to our apartment today. The Fed Ex guy recognizes us and calls us by name now… He actually asked us what we do that lets us stay at home all day. I think he was a bit jealous. Anyways, we got a box from a lady Chris […]

susan’s gift

This is our first Christmas gift- opened a little early… We got a box and opened it, not realizing that we should have stuck it under the tree and waited nine more days. But who cares! Now I have a beautiful milk pitcher!

first Christmas

I love this photo. I like that you can see the texture in Chris’s skin on his thumb. He’s making a weird face… he often does :)
