We had a wonderful Christmas this year! It was our first being home, just the three of us and I think we started (adapted) some great traditions.

But first, I must post this picture of my dear friend Nicole. She was dropping off her boys at my house while she went Visiting Teaching, and alas, got stuck in our driveway. You have never seen such a determined Visiting Teacher as Nicole, shoveling out her car with no coat and designer boots. Thanks to Jared and Berek for bailing us out!



Alright, on to Christmas. We decided to open up PJ's on Christmas Eve, and it was so fun. You may need to shield your eyes from the technicolor PJ's that Hank received. But they were the only Thomas the Train set at the store, and he loves them! He cried when we took them off the next day, and we have already washed them several times so he could wear them every night since.
Shane read us "Twas the Night Before Christmas"





Christmas morning Hank found a train set waiting under the tree!





He caught on to this pretty quick!


He loved the art easel Nana and Papa sent him.







After breakfast and some naps, we went over to the Johnson's to celebrate with the family.The kids played really well together!





Dylan was very nice to share his toy with Uncle Shane

I LoVe your new red jammies hot mama!

Thank you for the shout out...I definitely am not the most dedicated visiting teacher, but I try. I'm just glad Jared was around to shovel me out :) Thanks for keeping the twins!

Oh-and Hank's jammies are adorable and aren't nearly as bright as I had imagined :)I'm glad he got so many trins for Christmas, that way Jo Jo can sneek them off without too much notice! ha ha

Ok, just read Marianne's comment, and I wasn't copy catting her with the "hot mama" :)

I think everyone should wear silky, smooth and red pj's to the V-day Bunko. Boo whoo I want to be there!! How are you feeling in 2009? I finally have a little surge in energy. I prefer 16 weeks to 12 weeks. I feel much better. Just getting chubby! Hopefully I'll see you guys next week or the next week.
