Christmas 2008

You are probably wondering why my son is outside "nakey" in the snow on Christmas?  I don't really know!  You'll have to ask him.  He was originally found out on the patio with no shoes, when shoes were suggested, he ran inside and put on his boots.  For those of you who are wanting to turn me into social services, it was nearly 55 degrees or something warm like that.  No threat of frost bite and he was quickly clothed, following the photo session...with a sweat shirt, no pants!  Parents of the year you are thinking?!  Yup!
So, Christmas was the best this year, due to the excitement of both of our children.  Kedzie was most excited about the fact that Santa did in fact eat all the cookies and drink all of the milk left for him.  What a wonderful thing to be excited about it.  She was also thrilled with her Sleeping Beauty's and her horses the he brought her.  

Ethan could not have been more excited about receiving a full sized basketball and soccer ball.  Wow that kid loves balls.  It was so fun to see their reactions on Christmas morning.  Travis and I were up at 5:30am just waiting for them...they woke at 7am!  What's the deal?!  It's Christmas.  
We had the opportunity to have my mom here for Christmas this year.  She and the kids were in Heaven.  It was a lot of fun.  Constant attention provided to the kids.  They missed that after she went home.  She brought a lot of joy to our Christmas Holiday.  
As a side note, Kedzie and her friends Reagan and Lindie had their "tap" dance recital the weekend before Christmas.  They were fantastic!  Big smiles, no tears and constant dancing whether it was the routine or not.  Moms were proud!  It was a great show...all three minutes of their portion!  

Wishing everyone a happy and joyous New Year!  We have a lot to remember from this year and a lot to look forward too in 2009.  May it be wonderful for all.
