Christmas 2013!!
This Christmas was so much fun, as Ceci was definitely at a good age. She "wrote" her lists, checked them twice:), etc. Both kids were under the weather Christmas morning, so things weren't completely ideal... Les woke up with hefty bags under his eyes THEN (under Daddy's watch) fell and got his first HUGE goose egg on his forehead. Poor boy. After about 10 mins our big man went on about his business and didn't realize how pitiful he looked. He's quite the little bruiser himself (very much into hitting, biting, kicking, scratching, etc). We are trying to tame his behavior! One word to describe him: determined. Honey badger takes what he wants (as one employee described Jonathan in an eval:))... Les is following in Daddy's footsteps.
Pics from the day are below! Lots.
I think I'll decide a better way to display our cards next year. We didn't have room!
Don't look now! Santa came down the chimney!
Santa's note!! Sweet, sweet Santa.
Everything is ready to go!!! (after Santa came;))
Our tree... that normally had a gate around it. Within 24 hrs of decorating, Les shattered an ornament (mind you, with the gate around it). We may stick to something less involved next year.
Sooooo, we decided to add to the decor this year and create the children's tree.
The cute ornaments I picked up in Houston
I'm AWAAAKE! Ceci loving her new Doc McStuffins and Sofia the First standing activity tables.
We LOVE this girl.
Looking at the cookies and milk Santa had!!
Santa left a NOTE?!?!?
She got lots of Sofia the First gear this year.;)
Stockings full of goodies
Daddy let me help you open yours before the monster gets up (we waited on Les for about an hour before starting the kids).
SWEETEST
Well good morning, rascal!
Yay, Daddy! Look what Santa brought me!
Poor man... bags and bags under those eyes
But he sure was happy!!
Mickey Mouse?!?!? I got Mickey!? Let me give him a quick hug. Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog!
Our band with our very own drum major, DADDY
What's THIS?!
Sully & Mike!!
We got Sully & Mike... and Monsters University on DVD!
Sofia the First gear
She had to put it all on, of course.
Costume change. Monsters U jammies.
The aftermath. Santa brought way too many gifts. Overkill. Next year we might scale down our lists.
The only thing this man wanted was the goldfish from his stocking!
Writing a thank you letter to Santa, note the shades.
Off to Mam-ma & Papa's after our house. The goose egg is in full force.
Ceci was the helper again this year. She did such a great job passing out gifts.

Aunt Leah & Ceci wearing matching blue
Poor boy and his sweet head
Loving her Sofia the First amulet necklace
"Who needs Santa. I've got Grandma"
That's the TRUTH!!:)
The look of pure determination
What a fun and blessed Christmas!! We are so thankful.
