Merry Christmas!

The kids were up bright and early at 4:10 am!  They were so excited. Unfortunately, this was the best picture I got of the two of them together.  It's pretty typical though.

This is Addi giving a card she made for Von to him.  He wasn't that interested, but it was so sweet of her.  He is holding his "Special" Lightning McQueen.  He had one that got lost at month or so ago, and was so sad about it.  He has several Lightning McQueens, and to him, they are all different and they all have different names, even though they are all pretty much the same toy.  This one, however is actually a deeper shade of red and of course, the only place I could find it was on Amazon.  It was so worth it, though.  He is still carrying it around with him where ever he goes.  Had I only thought ahead and order several of them, for the next time it gets lost.

Addi decorated these cookies all by herself Christmas Eve.  I was busy preparing food for Christmas day, so she went to town all on her own.  I think just as much frosting ended up in her stomach as did on the cookies.

So happy.

The aftermath.  After presents, the kids let us go back to bed for a couple of hours while they watched one of their new movies.  And then we headed up to Ian's parents for more presents and food.  The kids had a great holiday, I was sad to have school start again.  It was so nice to be lazy and not have a schedule.  Till next year...
