Christmas 2009 was the best one ever...I think we say that every year! We really missed Em and Henry and John and Cheryl, but did get to Skype with them several times over the holiday. Gotta love modern technology! Lots of presents, shepherding, tamales and fun memories!
Marmee talking with John and Cheryl via Skype on Christmas Eve
My handsome little men ready for Christmas Eve church
A lil Christmas love!
The Guests all cleaned up...and all looking at the camera...and all smiling...it was a Christmas miracle!
Yaya, Grumpy and their fan club
Grumpy and Carson were shepherds in the Christmas Pageant at church. This will go down as one of my most favorite memories of all time! I took Carson to see the "Best Christmas Pageant Ever" at the Dallas Children's Theater shortly before Christmas. So, when Pastor Bill asked Mom if they would be shepherds, he was SO excited!
Aunt Molly and Carson...Collier was unfortunately DONE with picture taking by this point.
Daddy got a new pair of boots!
Collier with the kazoo from Aunt Molly...this little gift has since gotten "lost"!
Carson with "Aunt Sherry's Jelly"...he was SO excited about this gift since it is the ONLY jelly the kid will eat! Look at that face!
Carson and Grumpy opening a gift from Yaya...a remote control helicopter. Look at those matching excited expressions. Funny side story to this gift - after we were done opening gifts Dad was trying to master flying this and having a little trouble. He kept telling Mom, "there is no way Carson is going to be able to do this...I can barely get this thing to fly". So of course, Carson comes in, sees him flying it and wants a turn. Dad was pretty skeptical and was worried that Carson would crash it and break it, etc... Well, whatyaknow, Carson not only go it to fly, but did so after only a few tries! Dad had to eat some words, which for those that know Walt...well, it is pretty funny!!!!
Mommy and Daddy with our gifts from Carson. He picked these out at the Dollar Store and paid for them himself. A cake icing spreader for me and a flashlight for Kenny. He also go Collier a coloring book!
Collier with his name puzzle from Memy and Henry. He loved playing with the one they got for Carson (when Carson was Collier's age), so he has enjoyed having one of his own!
Yaya with her plate from the boys made especially for her. It has their hand print (Carson) and footprint (Collier). Needless to say, she loves it!
