Coming Out of the Christmas Fog....

Sorry for the absence!! I was recovering at a Christmas overdose facility!! Ha!!

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING POST HAS PICTURE OVERLOAD!!

Our family had a wonderful Christmas and the kids were evidently on Santa's nice list because they got some of the things they asked for!!

Christmas Eve with Papa Cheese and Grandma Strawberry - Rocco played Santa

Santa without pants.....That boy was crazy Christmas Eve. Its like he went a little nuts realizing he could rip into that paper and find a present. He ripped all kids of presents that weren't even his!!! He was sooooo wired!! This is him belting out "Santa Claus is coming to town" by Bruce Springsteen. (That's his favorite Christmas song - he also will play the sax in the song). Hilarious!!!!

He still does not have any pants??? He loved climbing under Grandma Strawberry's tree to find more presents.

He got a golf set so now he can golf with Poppy and Daddy!!!

Jillian got Rapunzel!!

Christmas morning at our house - The kids woke up at 6:00 am. Grammie and Poppy and Uncle Bill-Bill and Aunt Mashure were not coming until 7:00 so we watched Snow White upstairs until everyone was present and accounted for!! The funniest thing happened....we couldn't get Rocco to come down the stairs. I think he was a little startled that everyone was over and watching him. Finally he decided to come down when he heard Jillian going bananas!!

KK was busy crunching the paper!!

Hadleigh got a present!!! She looks thrilled right??

Rocco got a train table!!

Jillian got a lot of princesses!! In her words, "just what she wanted!"

A Buzz Lightyear umbrella!!

A Belle dress up costume (with accessories)!!

A Buzz Lightyear dress up costume with power wings!!!

Then he changed into his new Woody pajamas!! (Please ignore the pink sparkle shoes. Those did not come with the pajamas. Those are Jillian's.)

We went over to Grammie and Poppy's for lunch! Hadleigh and KK were playing so well together.

Until Hadleigh got very rough with poor KK and bopped him over the head with one of her toys.

Rocco spent the rest of the day in his Buzz Lightyear costume and opened more presents!!

Jillian spent the rest of the day in her Belle costume and showing off her new furry vest with tattoo!!!

And don't forget a pink sequin purse to go with it!!

A Buzz Lightyear to go with the "real" Buzz Lightyear!!! (do you see the BL obsession we are having at our house??)G & P got her a mini-castle to go with her mini-princesses (do you see the Princess overload we are having at our hous) :-)

Finally, the day after Christmas, Roy and Gavin arrived!!!

Hadleigh wanted to play with paper and goldfish!!

Rocco got a superhero cape and goggles!!

Not to be outdone, Jillian got a pink superhero cape and goggles!!!

And we are DONE!!!!

Thank you to Grammie and Poppy, Mashure and Bill-Bill, Papa Cheese and Grandma Strawberry, Uncle Matt and Aunt Lisa, and Aunt Kelly for the wonderful presents. We are lucky to have you!!!
