very cute picture of Laina!

I have to laugh because my girlie loves to wear those menswear pjs too and they always come unbuttoned. The good thing is she is going through that independant "I'll do it myself" stage and gets lots of practice buttoning on her pjs!

I LOVE everyone's photos!! Here's little Missy sleeping in a box on Christmas Eve, and on top of the pile everyone made after too much egg nog, then showing off her new teddy bear earrings, and her big girl bed! Oh, and one of her patiently waiting to get started opening gifts, I could not beleive she was just sitting there waiting!
I am so glad to see everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Here are my two on Christmas Eve. E kept her arm around D as she "showed" him how to put out Santa's snack, and kept it there as they said good-night to the tree. That's a rare thing these days - the Christmas spirit was alive and well in our house!

Here are some pictures of Girlie with her doll from Russia and her Disney vanity. Rocking with her guitar.

Big Boy's drums, his big lure he insists will catch a shark, his nutcracker from this year (he gets one every year and we are growing his collection.)

And a picture of the tree in the family room right after Santa left. It took me 3 nights to wrap everything and it was all open in about 15 minutes!

Yes, the kids have matching jammies on. DH and I had them on too. We have to get a picture of the 4 of us in our dog pjs.
