Christmas

O.k., update! We had a great Christmas!!! Christmas Eve we spent with Lafe's family enjoying Colombian Hotdogs and Thai Sticky Rice and acting out the nativity. Christmas morning was so fun! It was fun to let the kids come running down the stairs to the Christmas tree! Quick highlights of main gifts:

Erin got a camera! and a DS game. In fact, most of these pictures are from her camera!!! It's funny because her new camera is better (and was cheaper) than my old camera that just broke! Although, it had trouble with the LCD, so we had to return it and are anxiously waiting for the new one to come.

Ethan got a new, bigger bike and a BB gun!

Jamie got a new, bigger bike, too, and a microscope! (she's making a funny face because it's Erin taking the picture)

Laura got American Girl "Kit" (waited a long time for that!) and Pixos!

Since 3 of the girls have an American Girls now, I decided to make them each a nightgown for them for Christmas - this is Laura's.

Kelcie got a new scooter (her's got ran over about 6 wks ago - "I'll ask Santa for a new one!" cry, cry, cry) and Splatster - still trying to get that to work right.

Talin got a Train Table and some trains! (Santa likes Craig's list!) He really likes it - again, Erin taking the picture.

Lafe got a puppy - remember? - and we got a new camera - woohoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! I can finally take pictures!!!!!!!!! Although, I haven't taken many yet. Christmas morning we cooked a Lobster that Lafe's cousins gave him - it was HUGE and so yummy!!!!!! The whole street (relatives) came to taste it.

We had a great day - went up to my family for dinner and enjoyed the day.
