Christmas & Christmas Eve

This is what Santa brought for Emma, Jack & Joshua. For the past 6 years Bobby and I have gone to my parents house to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve then spend the night at his parents house. Santa came to Jim's house and the kids were so excited!

Joshua on Christmas morning.

Joshua is just about crawling. He goes backwards but not forwards. We have hardwood floors at our house so he does not get too much practice.

This is Christmas Eve we went to my parents house for dinner and gifts. Here is Jack digging into a present for Joshua.

My dad holding Grant. He just woke up and was not too happy for a second. He is such a great baby. He rarely ever cries. He is 4 months old. He and Joshua will be best friends one day since they are only 3 1/2 months apart.

Mom hearing what we got my parents for Christmas. We got them a pair of tickets to the Glenn Beck & Bill O'Reilly concert. She was so excited.

Penny and my mom. They have been best friends for over 40yrs. They dress alike, have similiar hair, have similiar manners, etc. People confuse them all the time. When I was growing up Penny was like a second mother to me.

Too bad they did not each much of their burger cause it was yummy.

This Wednesday at the Rec center they had Cookies with Santa. Of course my camera batteries died right after my first shot. This is Emma, Abigail (her best friend), Jack and Jay. Emma and Abigail took a class called Pretty Princess Ballet and their class did a performance at this event. It was very cute. They had a guy who made balloon items. Jack and Jay had a sword, sword holder and pirate hat made, while the girls had a cute Rudolph the red nosed reindeer made. They also had a face painter, craft table and cookie decorating table. So much fun!! Emma and Jack both fell asleep by 5pm.
