Christmas 2008

Desiree's Camera on the left. Heather's on the right. These were their big gifts this year. They've been wanting nice cameras for so long.

Katie was so adorable yesterday in her little dress. She looked so sweet. Heather bought it at Gottchalks. She would have just as soon got a balloon for Christmas. She had no interest. She likes her coloring books best, so far. I think it's too overwhelming for small kids. Heather is at home trying to get all her things together for her. She took so many pictures with her camera, but in the midst of everything going on, I didn't take any pictures.

The house had a dozen balloons floating around. Katie, David and Hannah had fun playing with them.

Katie was woken up and her cheeks were flushed from laying on them.
You can see who ended up with all the balloons.

I tried to get her to look into the camera just once, but there was too much going on and she just wouldn't cooperate.

Here she is, like a little lady.

She loves this little musical toy box. I found it at a yard sale for $5. It plays music. She loves turning it off and on. She also enjoys trying to pull them off.

Desiree did hers and Heather's hair. She was watching Wow Wow Wubbzy here.

Still trying to get a picture of Katie. Nothing was working.

Heather loved her camera. I gave it to her before everyone got there so that she could take pictures of the kids opening their gifts. I have a picture of her seeing it for the first time and her eyes are bugged out. She'd be mad if I posted it. She was really happy to get it.

Waiting for everyone to come. Desiree getting her camera.

Christmas was so much fun. Katie got her Wubbzy stuff, Hannah got her Yo Gabba Gabba, and David got lots of clothes mostly, and some toys. Hannah loved her Yo Gabba Gabba doll and was dancing around like crazy. We were laughing so much, watching her dance. She was shaking her tiny little legs and hands so fast.

Afterwards, they got on the roller coaster. The loved it. They kept taking turns and Hannah kept complaining that she wasn't getting her turn. David, once again, monopolized it, and Katie, who was afraid at first, loved walking up and down the track.

The aftermath

Merry Christmas!
