We made it...

Santa's Comin' tonight!! WOAH!
THIS IS TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL! A GIRL AND HER HAT!

Nothing can get between a boy and his truck!

"take me to the races"

Grammie, Pa, Harleigh, Katelynn, Caleb, Nathan, Joshua Philip and Jack!!

Whew...and if you can't tell...that was a BIG sigh of relief...we made it through Christmas with all of our hair and no missing socks!

Actually, I am quite impressed, the day of Christmas, all 'old' toys were purged and all 'new' toys put in their new happy places. (My secret...the kids were gone...not all moms can do this!) By the time they got back, they were ready to devour the new found cleanliness and destroy my sanity! MERRY CHRISTMAS, MOM! I welcomed it! I love to watch them play, usually with ear plugs, but I love it! The banging of the new tool set, the flinging of puzzle pieces, the racing of cars across the floor and of course the high pitched laughter! All the while, Harleigh is playing with her webkin's, drawing, building or playing with her dolls....ah, the noises of childhood. Christmas is amazing! Truly, my favorite time of year!!! *sigh* now....time to save up for Christmas 2009!
