The Christmas (un) Wrap Up


Funny how well they pose when they can't open presents until I get a good photo

Christmas Eve- exchanging gifts from the family





Christmas Morning












Every year we save the "big" gift (or the most wanted gift) for last and it is a gift from us and not Santa.  However, every year they have to go on a scavenger hunt to find where their last gift is hidden.  This year's hunt had them going between all three floors of the house following the clues (including one this year that they needed clues to figure out)






K got a DS (okay it was my old hardly ever been used DS but new to her)  


D got a new DSi (she has always had the boys' hand-me-downs which have never worked well after years of use by the boys)


Anticipation

 They each got an iPod touch (which was all they talked about wanting)

Weekend Wisdom

And the Grinch, 
with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, 
how could it be so? 

It came without ribbons. 
It came without tags. 
It came without packages, boxes or bags. 

And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. 
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.

What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. 
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

-Dr. Seuss

Bethlehemian Rhapsody

Our church always does a puppet/kids show on Christmas Eve afternoon.  

Oh please please please let this be part of it.......
