I hope everyone else had an enjoyable holiday. Yesterday was pretty special at our house. It was nice to be in our home for Christmas after spending last year's in the temporary house. Most importantly, all three kids were together on Christmas morning for the first time. It might have been viewed differently by Anna and Jacob since the reason they were at our house is because their father is serving in Iraq.
For me though, to see Emma understanding what was going on, and to see her excitement over Santa Claus was really special. She was very happy to see that Santa brought her the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and a stuffed giraffe that she had asked for. She got lots of other toys and goodies from Mommy and Daddy, and Grandma, Pop, Uncle Jason and Aunt Melissa. So much so that I had a hard time getting her to go to bed. So far one of the top favorites has to be the Cooties game. Such a simple and inexpensive toy, and it gets the most playtime.
Since the presents were given out last night, it is okay to share some pics. We had family pictures taken and hired one of Tammy's friends to be the photographer. The link is to her blog where she posted a few of the pictures. Also if you go to the main page, you can find pics from Anna's senior pictures photo shoot. If you haven't seen them, you should!
