Christmas 2008

A few pictures from Christmas. We had a wonderful morning... the kids slept late, which was nice, and there is nothing like the magic of watching the face of a four year old and a two year old when they see that Santa paid a visit. It was a blast!

The Christmas tree... day and night.


Troy and Gabriella (High School Musical) were a perfect gift for Madison from the Rowbotham family. The look on her face says it all!

We tried to get Ellie to relax and enjoy the morning... not too tough to do.


Ellie and Madison enjoyed playing with each others' presents.


The "Little Mermaid" was another favorite on Christmas morning.


Madison practiced on her scooter in the hallways. This is her new mode of transportation to school.

Santa left a swing handing from the balcony in the family room.


Ellie loved her new movies. (She has a healthy media addiction.)


Decorating cookies on Christmas Eve. Lots of fun.


Ellie probably ate more frosting than actually made it to her cookies.


A picture of the girls patiently waiting to open presents on Christmas morning.


Madison absolutely enjoyed the whole morning.
