Christmas 2009

I never know if I am thrilled or sad that it's over...I guess a little of both! So much preparation and anticipation, so much joy yet so much work and so much mess! We had a fabulous Christmas - filled to the brim with Christmas pagentry, cookies, shows, gifts and food! Here are a few highlights...

Olivia yelling at me because she guessed it was a lava lamp about a week ago and I swore it wasn't! HOW did she guess that? I didn't even think she had ever seen a lava lamp!

Santa brought Emily a "fur real" kitty. This cat is SO real (including purring, meowing, and licking.) Next best thing when your sister is allergic I guess!

Santa also brought new scooters! Emily's is solid pink with streamers of course!

The look on her face coming down the stairs in the morning!

Christmas Eve...the girls!

Emily at school getting ready to sing Jolly Old St. Nicholas for her adoring fans

Olivia's new scooter...motorized for a top speed of 15 mph. THIS is cool!

I had to do something about her being a Redskins fan!!

Christmas Dinner

All worn out!

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. Happy Birthday today to our cousin Nick, can't believe you are 13! Emily turns 5 tomorrow, that is even harder to believe. We are taking her out on a boat in Kaneohe Bay to the sandbar for a picnic in the ocean. Don't worry...on Wednesday we head to the salon with her peeps for a makeover, dress up gig complete with glitter hair and nails! Pictures to follow (with my new SLR camera if I can find 5 minutes to learn how to use it!)
