Merry Christmas!!

It is 9:00 on Christmas night, and ALL the boys are in bed! What does that mean? It means I have a chance to sit down and do this!

Erik got in from Denver on Saturday, his flight was delayed 2 hours by the Continental jet the went off the runway... so he got here at midnight-ish. Dagan got a bad cold on Saturday, so he was still awake when Erik got here. He was super excited to see his big brother again.


We didn't have anyone else here for the holiday. Erik was disappointed, he really enjoyed having Dad and Cathy here over Thanksgiving.



Without further ado, here are some pictures.



Friday Dagan and I set up the christmas tree. He was a BIG help. He kept getting into the ornaments and playing with the lights. He saw me put a string of lights on the tree and tried to put on the string he had. He also liked to point at the tree and talk to it. It was pretty cute.
Santa and family was pretty good to all of us, especially the kids. They made out like bandits, as usual. This is what the tree looked like before the boys got to it.
Dagan must have known it was Christmas, because he woke up at 5:45am, and he ran out to the living room. Normally if he wakes up that early I can nurse him right back to sleep, but he didn't hang around long enough! He paused to point at the full stockings, and then spotted the tree. I had taken down the gate for easy present placement, and didn't think I would need to put it back up. Boy, was I wrong. Dagan ran to the tree. I tried to put the gate back before he could get into the presents. I didn't make it. He was all excited, pointed to all the presents and promptly spotted some of his unwrapped presents. What do you mean I have to wait??




Finally, at 7am everyone else got up. After about half an hour of coffee drinking and general messing around we got down to business.
Erik got a scooter, operation, a game called Hyper-Dash, some books, crafty-things, clothes, cars, a video game, and other random things. Dagan got a singing and counting chair thing, a piano with blocks, some giant baby blocks, one of the wooden toys with the swirly metal and shapes that move, some Colorado Avalanche stuff, clothes, and other random stuff. Like I said, they made out like bandits. Here are some pics of them playing with their toys. Mostly of Dagan, cus Erik played his video game for 2 hours, and those would be boring pictures.And one extremely unflattering pic of me in my pajamas playing with Dagan. .

I'm glad that you had a great Christmas and that Erik got in OK, We watched flights get canceled all over the NW. Me girls have been telling me how the three of them would find the presents and OPEN them! Stinkers, I've put the Mommy's curse on all of them. That'll show them. Stinkers....
