Christmas 2008

Christmas Eve before Church


Christmas morning after Santa's arrival.




Saturday after Christmas with all the second cousins. You'll notice neither of my kids in the picture. Kyler refused to be in the picture and Mia had a meltdown at photo time.

Santa comes to Kyler's school

Kyler's Christmas party at nursery school was on Thursday. Parents were invited to join them for the last hour of singing and a "Special visitor". If you've never heard a bunch of 2 and 3 year olds singing Christmas carols, you are really missing out.

Kyler was so excited when Santa arrived. He was yelling across the room to me, "Mommy, Santa is here!!!!"

Even Mia got in on the action.


Later that day, Kyler told me that Santa didn't have his glasses on at school like he did at breakfast the other day. I couldn't believe how observant he was. Kids pick up on a lot more than we think they do, even at just 2 1/2. So be careful.

Pictures of the week

Well, pictures of last week, which was quite busy with playgroups, a visit from Granny and Poppy, breakfast with Santa, and a birthday party at Moonbounce.
This week, we have been on quarantine since Kyler picked up the stomach bug. When are kids old enough to puke in the toilet? Apparently, not yet...we had a rough Monday. So far, Kyler is the only one to get it and he is feeling okay now, but Chris and I feel like ticking time bombs. Every time we go to eat something, we think, "Do we want to have this coming back up??? If we can make it to tomorrow, we may be in the clear.

Breakfast with Santa

Parade

Last Friday night, Kyler went to the West Chester Christmas parade with Grandmom and Pop pop and spent the night over their house. Mommy and Daddy got to go out for date night. (Well, sort of. We still had Mia.) But we did get to go for Indian food which we can't do with Kyler.

Erik's Bday and a tree

We had Erik's birthday dinner on Saturday night at Erik and Renee's house.

Hey Kyler, want to know what your going to look like in about 40 years, look to your left; in about 60 years, look to your right.






We went to get our Christmas tree on Sunday. We did the train ride and cut your own again this year. It was freezing out and windy so we didn't lollygag and got the first nice one we saw.



Ummm, free hot chocolate after.


Mia also had her 2 month appointment today. She is 11 pounds, 2.5 ounces (60%)and 23 inches long (82%). She had to get 2 shots today, but she was a very brave little girl!
