Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone! All dressed for Great Grandma's house.

A view from the back too.
Now I don't approve of booty shots, but how cute was her diaper cover.

Look what Santa left for the kids. You'll see on the right he remembered to leave Matthew the something to cuddle with that he asked for.

Santa got Matthew a cool Toy Story rocket ship and guys to go with it.

Swiping Matthew's cuddle toy. She loves stuffed animals.

Yeah, Mommy and Daddy got me a Star Wars ship. Mommy and Daddy can do pretty good, just like Santa.

One of the kids put L.S.'s new toy in a box and he was going to make sure he got it back

It unfolds to this room for her dolls.

Christmas Eve

What a great Christmas Eve. The kids were phenomenal in church, which is always a plus. Although they usually are very good, I'm just paranoid. Thank you to Bo bo, Nine, Ti ti, Steve, Uncle Bobby, Aunt Renee, and Mikayla for the awesome gifts.

This is Molly's new thing, if I tell her to say cheese she continues to try to say it so I don't get a picture of her smiling.

Someone was a good boy this year

Matthew, Steve, Molly, Ti ti

These are like the scarves from Kindermusik, Molly loves them and as you can see Matthew does too.

This came out of sequence. This was on our way home from Bo bo and Nine's.

Daddy looks excited about this gift.

A Kindermusik drum, Molly loves instruments

Christmas Break Fun

Fun at the trampoline place

Christmas Lights

Tonight we went out looking at Christmas lights. Some of us had hot chocolate and we made microwave popcorn to take with on our trip. (Molly had chips, no popcorn for her yet)

Enjoying his popcorn and hot chocolate

In South Elgin there is a whole street to walk up and down so we got out.

There were some blocks in Carol Stream with Disney theme-Cinderella's Castle

There really were 101 Dalmatians (we think) on this lawn.

Preschool Christmas Songs

Here are some pictures from Matthew's Christmas party at preschool. The parents were invited at the end and the kids sang some songs, saw Santa, and then we all had cookies. I will try to upload some of the video later.

Being a silly goose

Here they were singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"

Watching the teacher for direction

Matthew and Santa

Deep in thought of what he would like for Christmas. He ended up saying Legos and something to cuddle with. (All the parents loved that one, it was too cute).
