Christmas Day 2008

Christopher figuring out the GameCube New poster to hang

Darci on the go Preparing for a day of shopping

Style before comfort is key SUCH a diva

We woke up this morning to lots of snow and 3 very excited kids. Santa had come and left quite the haul. They enjoyed taking turns opening toys and we enjoyed seeing so much joy in their faces. They even took joy in each others' gifts. Christopher happily recieved a Nintendo GameCube and would play every waking moment if I let him. Xander recieved some Star Wars figures and lots of puzzles. Darci recieved a baby doll and stroller. Also some fun, girly accessories. I think she, especially, enjoyed the opening of the gifts.

My family (mom and dad, Brett and Shendi) joined us for an early Christmas dinner and some feel-good family moments. What a fun time we had. Brett and Shendi's little Blakelynn is 5 months old and got so excited around Darci. Darci had a little tea party with her, and sang to her, and all around enjoyed her little cousin.

There will be more pictures to come... here is just a sampling.
