For Mom and Mary--Christmas 2008

For all of you who live far away and I couldn't get you a cookie platter, here's your virtual platter. Hope you had a great Christmas!




Due to bad weather and stuff, we were forced to celebrate here in Eugene, just us. We missed the cousins, Aunt, Uncles and Grandma terribly. But all in all had a nice Christmas.


Here are the kids sporting their new jammies.
Santa brought Isaac his own bag of those gross, nasty circus peanuts. He was so excited. I think they were gone that same day.





Anna is thrilled with her gift card to Claire's--thanks Grandma. Next time you get to spend the hours it took deciding what to buy.






Abby is thrilled with her new Princess game for the Wii Santa brought.







Cause a boy can never have too many Legos.







Noah had been talking about this Obi-Wan action figure for months. Being oh so interested, I hadn't ever really looked at it. SO glad I got the right one.






Abby loves her Cabbage Patch Dolls.








Isaac got Operation--loves it.






Anna got Pictureka--Abby is scary good at it. It's a fun family game.





And it wouldn't be Christmas without the traditional trifle. Yummm!!!!

Hey! I just noticed your title! Is that me, Mary??? If it is, I am so honored, and if not, don't burst my bubble... I already made a fool of myself in testimony meeting today and my ego won't be able to take it. (There's a reason I only get up to that pulpit once every 10 years)!!!

I miss you Kim! Keep the posts coming!
