Christmas 2009

Christmas Eve 2009, new pjs

Christmas Eve day was spent at home, enjoying being together. Erik, Lily and I built this block city using every block we have. Drew didn't even knock it over when he saw it, even though destroying things is his favorite thing to do!

Christmas Eve the kids got to open one present... a new pair of fleece pjs. These were one of three things that got me out of bed at 4:30am on Black Friday. I braved the crowds at Walmart and stood in line for about 45 minutes for these $3 pjs. It was worth it though because the kids loved them. Erik LOVES Wii Mario Kart and Lily LOVES Spongebob. Drew looks like such a little boy, not a baby, in his pjs. Too cute!

So excited to finally open a present. They did good not bothering them for the week and a half before Christmas.


Drew wanted in, but he wanted me to open it.


This smile says it all!


What a cute girl!


Big boy

This year we had a very quiet Christmas. We stayed home, opened presents, played with toys and stayed in our pjs until 3:00. It was nice to have such a relaxed day together, but we missed seeing family as well. Christmas was a low-key affair for us this year, but all three kids had a great day. They all loved the presents they received, but I think Drew liked climbing on all the boxes even more. Here are some pictures from Christmas morning.

He likes climbing up on the couch.

What is this thing?


Thanks Dub and Grandma Dub.


Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Dub, again.


I think he did this on almost every box he saw.


Thanks Grandma Janet. It was a big hit!


It's cereal from Jennifer! haha The kids really thought that's what she gave them, and they were ok with it. Good to know for next year.

He's having a blast!


That's great Dad, it's a book. Now get it outta my way! He really does like this book.


The aftermath


Erik with his spoils of the day.


Lily's loot, which she thought was fantastic!


Drew's collection. They all loved T-Rex mountain. Now if we could just figure out how to keep the pieces of each level from coming apart it would be great!


Merry Christmas everyone!
