Christmas Day

Christmas Day was a great day! I can only remember 1 other time that I woke up Christmas morning in my own house. It was different, but really nice.

It all started around 7 am. Noah had no idea what was going to happen on Christmas morning, which is why we all got to sleep 'til 7. We kept ALL of the presents hidden until Christmas morning because I didn't want to keep telling Noah to get away from the presents. When Noah came down stairs he went straight to the tree. It actually took him a while to understand exactly what was going on. (I think he was still a little bit sleepy...just look at the pictures.) He immediately went to a stuffed Lightning McQueen and started "driving" in around the room. It took him 3 hours to unwrap all his presents because he had to study each thing and then clean up all the wrapping paper and put the toy back in its original packaging. It was a pretty long process, but I can't complain because my living room was trash free when Noah finished opening.

Here is Noah "driving" his plush Lightning McQueen. He was a little frustrated that the wheels didn't turn. :-)

Noah loved his new mittens...so warm... He also thinks that his new dump truck is GREAT! It currently has about 5 wooden cars that it regularly carts around and dumps in places for me to step on.

Noah also got his own CD player and microphones. Look out world; I think he may be the next American Idol.

Perfect end to a perfect day. Noah and Grammie discuss the day's events in the comfort of the rocking chairs on the porch.

Christmas Eve...

So I thought that the best way to get caught up would be to do it day by day. We had a really busy, but great, Christmas season. I know that Noah had so much fun! I'll start with Christmas Eve...

Whew what a day! Noah's Grammie (Chris' mom) finally made it from Maine the day before. We are always so happy to have her here. Our day consisted of playing soccer outside, making and decorating Christmas cookies, and going to the Christmas Eve service at church. Noah loves to sing Happy Birthday to anybody. At church they had a birthday party for Jesus, and it has taken me a month to get Noah to insert anyone else's name in the song. ...so sweet...

It was a beautiful day, and Chris and Noah had to get in a quick soccer game.

Here are all the pictures of the Christmas cookie adventure. Noah loved everything about making, decorating, and eating Christmas cookies. He especially liked rolling out the cookie dough. I couldn't pick just a few pictures, so I made a little slide show. Enjoy!

Coming Soon

There will be new pictures coming soon! As you may have noticed, I haven't even posted the Christmas pics yet. Also, just fyi, the new colors are not here to stay...I was just playing around. Just bear with me until I find the right color combo and new header. :-)
