Christmastime Memories 2009

Stressing out over getting family pictures in time for making cards

Noah watching Toy Story and/or Polar Express once a day
Anna uses a fork for the first time
Anna's word list grows to: wow, whoa, Dada, done, bye, yay
Getting a Mickey and Minnie holiday inflatable for the yard


Moving Santa forward on the advent calendar every night
"How Deep the Father's Love for Us" stuck in our heads
Josh and Noah going to a Toy Train Show


Noah's favorite carol: Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Noah visits with Santa 4x: Lights show, Bass Pro, My Gym, Publix
Going to Monkey Joes and having the place all to ourselves
Alisa comes over for the first visit for our Home Study update
Emptying the guest bedroom/setting it up for a little girl
Cruising the neighborhood for house lighting ideas for next year
Researching Jesse Trees and planning for making one next year
Going to see Sherlock Holmes and Avatar 3D
Mistaking my sunglasses for 3D glasses for the first part of Avatar
Josh sews a new nose on Calvin
Noah and Daddy playing ATV2 on XBOX like crazy
Accidentally buying two of the same Disney movie on Ebay
Putting out trains before Thxgiving, taking down on Christmas Eve

Opening 1 gift on C'mas Eve; N - monkey board, A - doll stroller
Making cookies and chocolate milk for Santa like Max and Ruby do
Being home Christmas morning for 3rd year in a row

whoa, it's been a long time since I've visited your blog. Christmas was fun! I think I may have to figure a time out to come visit y'all. Maybe Lee could keep Natalie and I could just come up there with Brooklyn. I'll have to talk to him about it. Good pics!
