Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas! I have to say that Christmas with four little kids is a lot of work...but worth all of the effort.

My four cutie-patooties on Christmas morning...its amazing what a good photo you can get when you tell them that as soon as they look at the camera they can go see what Santa brought them...works like a charm!
Baileigh asked Santa for an easel...so nice of Santa to set everything up for the girls to save us time on Christmas day!
Brooke asked for a "baby kitchen"...not sure why this was her description but this baby nursery station is what she was describing and she was thrilled that Santa put her on the nice list.
Mckenna requested a DSi...can you tell she is a happy girl!
Brookie saying "thank you" to Mckenna for a present...check out that fire in the background that daddy built!
Daddy and his new toy...a remote control CH46-C-Ranger...aka a Marine helicopter. Brad passed on flying helicopters out of pilot training for the sake of our marriage (tough lifestyle) so I thought I would make it up to him with this toy...he has only put it down today when it needs to charge!
Morgan enjoyed her first Christmas...she ate a lot of paper and played with a lot of boxes. I got a new lap top and a new camera lens for Christmas and editing software...lots of pressure for the look of my blog to improve.
Christmas with young kids is a blast...exhausting, but so much fun and we're so blessed. Merry Christmas to all our friends and family that keep up with us on this blog...hope it was a special day in your house, too.

Yes, your Christmas looks VERY different! Brad and Greg need to get together and fly their aircrafts together. Or Brad can come over and race remote control cars, we had four new ones under the tree!!

I'm glad I'm not the only mother who still finds joy in experiencing Santa Claus with my kids :)
