The Christmas that Never Started & Yet Never Ended

Christmas 2009 detoured by 25.1 inches of snow! Still wound up to be a beautiful holiday. Plus the gifts just keep trickling in. Eli gets this look on his face like, again? Haven't we been doing this for the past month? Little does he know, we have birthday gift openings through the next month too! He'll catch on.... Gifts from Santa...



For the first year, Isaac was genuinely excited for Santa's visit. He had to prep the stockings to make sure they were all open and lined up. Last year, all he wanted was his baby brother. This year the list was a matchbox race car....much easier request I might add.

Isaac's aunties gave him a weedeater...he slept with those safety goggles on...and continues to use it FREQUENTLY!






Can't wait until that guy has kids....

Patience dad....

Yes, Isaac it is hard to wait...talk to your grandfather....

Who needs gifts when you can have the remote all to yourself! You can kind of see the beginning of Eli getting sick here. On Sunday, we brought the little man into Urgent Care and came out with some meds for tonsilitis and pink eye.

The beautiful thing about our personalities is that there are careers that we are just not meant to explore. Like I cannot recall a time that anyone ever went up to my dad and said, "Tim, you should open a day care". Nope, never once.


They are wearing helments....some of you don't know how much of an improvement this is....AND, its a 4 wheeler not a truck....AND...its a sled not a car hood with a hole in it. Ahhh...childhood memories.


I love this pic....


Hope everyone got to celebrate the holiday with loved ones and got there safely!
