christmas 2009

this christmas was the year it flooded...so much that our church service that we usually attend at our church was cancelled and mom, dad, and steph's family barely made it to bryant! above is the only photo i have of scott...he wasn't able to spend the night with us because he had to work early the next morning but he ate christmas eve dinner with us.

it's tradition in our family to open ONE present on christmas eve but for some reason the kids opened a few this year...


max opened a remote controlled car that drive up walls from stetie and jason. maddie opened an elephant game that blows butterflys that you catch in a net from mommy and daddy.

it is also tradition for adam and i to get each of the kids a nice hardback book each year for christmas to add to their collection and we write a special message on the inside cover to them. this was maddie's book this year.


stetie brought reindeer food to sprinkle outside for santa's reindeer that night...it was also snowing just a bit!


we leave cookies and milk for santa every year...this year stetie made us all including santa one. this was our first year to use our santa plate too that we painted at doodleworks.

...........santa came!!!!!!


a very calm excitement this year!


max's proudest items: his scooter, dragon castle and tent for his "build-a-bear" dog.


...oh yeah and nerf gun.


maddie digging in her stocking


her favs included: her scooter, pink guitar and strawberry shortcake memory game!


asa was oblivious to the action he actually slept through most of the excitement in the begining!


God love him...



asa's favorite christmas present...he sleeps with his giraffe every night...mimi gave it to him :)
