Christmas 2009

Sitting on Santa's lap went over pretty well this year. They were all so cute and willing to sit. Each telling him their hearts desire for this Christmas. Tanner = a big star wars ship. Clayton = Bakugans, Austin = a hotwheels ??? Austin has been so funny to listen to this year. Our "at home" santa!! He is the cutest thing!!!

We all love being around Quentin still, and this is what happens all the time!

Time to congregate around the baby!
We had some friends over on Christmas eve. They have a few girls so we decided to do a small live nativity. The kids were so cute and they seemed to actually listen to the story.

The novelty of Quentin still has not warn off! :) They still love to be around him all the time!

He is so adorable!!!

All the boys in their new Christmas jammies!

Austin showing off for the camera! CUTE!!!

This year's simply beautiful Christmas tree! We have so many ornaments and this year we decided not to use most of them. I have to say I loved the simpleness this year!
This was taken on Christmas eve.

And this is what it looked like about 7:45am Christmas morning!

We had a wonderful Christmas day! But we really enjoyed the time we had to spend together for a few days! We are so blessed to have daddy home until after the new year, and we are looking forward to spending the time with him before the next semester starts! :)

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and that you will have a wonderful time

bringing in a very Happy New Year!!!
