Christmas 2006

Oh we had such a good day today. It is good to have little kids who don't have the need yet to get up before the sun. We were able to sleep in until about 8 am, when we were woken up by Princess M hollering her usual "Mom, UP!" So we got her up and went in and found princess E looking out her window. She turned and said, "mom, where did the oatmeal go?" I told her the reindeer must have eaten it in the night. She then told me that she did not want to go downstairs because "Santa was down there." I reassured her he was not, that he had come in the night. They came down and Princess M started going crazy with excitement. Princess E was a lot more cautious. But the sight of the princess tent and the little kitchen and the other presents soon won her over. It didn't take long for both of them to find out how much they liked opening presents.

Some of the favorites this year were the babies from Grandma Cooley, the dr kit, the chapstick and the James and the Giant peach movie.

We sure were blessed this year. A big thank you to all of our friends, cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles and neighbors who thought of us and gave of yourselves. We truly are blessed to have you in our lives.
We wish you the best in the coming year.
