Christmas Morning

Daddy and his boys show off the newest toys that

were delivered by Santa. They are ALL excited about

playing!!! (yes, that includes Daddy!)

Three very happy little boys showing off their color coded
Nintendo DS systems. Mom and Dad made this request to
Santa so there would not be any confustion as to which
DS belonged to which kiddo!

C.H., T.H., and I.C. are excited about building
new Hot Wheels Trick Tracks up and down the hallway
between their bedrooms!

Mommy and all of her "little elves" before they
dove into their presents.

The boys were having as much fun with
J.T. and L.C.'s toys as they were!

Check out all the "assistance" that C.H. and I.C.

are giving the girls in their present opening.

T.H. gets in on the action when he realizes that

the Dora Dollhouse came complete with a van!

Christmas Eve Bunkbeds

The boys came home Christmas Eve and found their

bedroom door all wrapped up and hiding a special gift.

They had to wait until after Christmas Eve Mass and

baths before they could look inside!

The new bunkbeds can sleep 4 regular sized people or
a whole bunch of little boys! They were so surprised
and excited!!!

First Haircuts for the Girls!

J.T. is not too sure about the idea of getting a haircut.

She warmed up to the idea and was all smiles when
Miss Jennifer finished trimming over 2 inches from the back.

L.C. liked "helping" by combing her hair throughout the cut!

Miss Jennifer holds another happy client!

L.C. still has a few curls left after the trim.

After the Cookie Exchange

C.M. didn't get to eat any cookies : (

While the kids were still dress up, we got a cute picture
in front of some of our Christmas decor.

2009 Cookie Exchange

Visiting with Santa at the annual cookie exchange.

A family picture in front of one of the five decorated
trees around the house at the cookie exchange.

I.C. Choir Performance

I.C. is in the school choir and they were asked to perform

Christmas carols in the lobby of Baptist Hospital. So on a

very cold Friday morning we loaded up the girls and

C.M. to go watch the performance.

J.T. and L.C. were almost lulled to sleep by the beautiful music.

J.T. demonstrating what a loving big sister she is!

St. Nicholas Day - Dec. 6th

December 6th is St. Nicholas Day so the children all put

heir shoes out the night before for St. Nicholas to leave

them a treat. It's a holy feast day in memory

of St. Nicholas' death.

I.C., C.H., and T.H. all line up before leaving for school to

show off the Bakugon key chains that were left in their shoes!
