Christmas 2009!!

Christmas has come and gone and I can hardly believe it. Brody was so fun to watch. I was always so overwhelmed with Christmas at my parents' home growing up and now I know why they went so far out of their way to make it special. Watching your child enjoy themself is so great. But more than that it was so wonderful to share the season with our family and see Brody start to "get it". He was so excited to celebrate baby Jesus' brithday. We pray that each year he get's it more and more! :)

So, here Brody opens up his stocking. He was sooo careful to unwrap each gift. My sisters and I got the kids together for a Christmas picture for Grandma.... it was insane. They were so squirmy and fussy that not a single picture had them all smiling, but there was one picture that turned at as good as can be for 4 grand-babies all under 3!! Fortunately, my mom's response to the gift made it all worth it! Carrie and I called each other up to get our sons to match... ;)

ummm... you can read whatever you like into this picture. I'm not exactly sure what to say...

This is Brody's gift from Grand-Mama and Grand-Daddy Joe-Joe. He LOVES it. Good thing too, because John and Joe-Joe spent an entire afternoon one day putting it together! :) Thanks so much guys! I feel like this is more a gift to me since it will keep him occupied so well! haha!

Here we tried to have another photo session. This is just one of many many pictures we took that I thought was pretty funny. There really wasn't a "good" one, but there were a lot of really funny ones. This one is good because all four of them are in it!! Seriously... these kids are squirmy and FAST! The best one was Trooper! :) (he had no choice).

Well-Merry Christmas everyone! Happy New Year!
