The stonkings were a dream this year, as Mr. and Mrs. Clause didn't communicate very well... Emily LOVES her new skirt - although she is not supposed to wear it two days in a row, her kindergarten class has seen this little number many many many times...
Oh, this little concrete mixer was meant to be such an awesome gift and I was so excited that Mitchell loved it - for about 5 minutes....and hasn't played with it since!
This was definitely his FAVORITE gift - the ellusive chocolate orange, a kid after my own heart!
The living room aftermath - and a friendly game of Monopoly Jr - a really fun game!
Mitchell got the little dog from Aunt Nancy. When you open and close its mouth, the dog 'barks' a song. Mitchell loves playing with it. Ben loves playing with it. Andy loves playing with it. Annie loves playing with it. You get the idea. Somehow, this dog was lost for a day while Mom got her sanity back. After which, the dog was miraculously found again!
Christmas dinner - love our turkey! Despite Em's scowl, she really was having a great day!
Every Sunday morning, Ben comes down to borrow a tie from Andy to go with his church clothes. It took a few tries, but Ben is pretty awesome at tying them too. Grandma Doerk said the new 'in' style with ties is paisley, so she got them matching ones!
Ph, the joy of shrinky-dinks! The girls had so much fun with these - I did too!!!!
Yes, one must play with cars while in pajamas - its kind of a rule!
We all had a great Christmas! The kids' big gift was a pair of googles for each of them - along with some plane tickets to Colorado for a week of skiing. Wait - maybe that was the gift for Andy....either way - everyone was happy on Christmas morning, throughout the day, and into the next day - I'd call it a success!!!
