Christmas!

Christmas came VERY early at our house!



Ava made these awesome presents!

Tommy's first Christmas!
He's not quite sure yet.

But his bumblebee pillow pet was a hit!

He loved biting its face!

Better the bee than my leg!


My bling! Alas, I have to pick something else out because my fingers are too skinny and they couldn't size it to fit my size four finger without ruining the ring.

Why did Santa bother with the DSi?

Christmas...or a bomb!

Christmas Eve

Cookies and milk, and carrots for the reindeer.

Posing in the new PJ's

Because carrots aren't enough. We lure them all the way in!

Fun at the Park

Sugar Cookies

We made sugar cookies for Christmas, and the girls thought they would immortalize our family in cookie form (until they ate us that is).
Check me out! They apparently think I resemble a dash board hula dancer. I'm not going to argue! And they were sucking up to Santa as they both look like little angels. Tommy is clearly from out of this world--or else his helmet had to be a part of his likeness!

Temple Lights

Loose Tooth!

Ava has her first loose tooth!
It's this one right here!

Isabelle's Turn

Isabelle was amazing as well!

Belle started the program for the night, but the microphone wasn't cooperating.

I tried to upload the videos, but I can't get it to work. Sorry :( You are missing out on some good stuff!

Ava's Christmas Concert

Ava's Christmas concert was great! She was amazing!

Gingerbread (Graham Cracker) Houses

Dad clearly forgot some gingerbread!


Ava really got into it!



As did Tommy.
Into biting Belle's rear that is!

And then laughing about it!

Testing out some of the goodies.

Tommy's house. (He had a little help from mom.)


Belle's house.

Ava's house.

Good enough to eat! (And we DID!)

Decorating!
