Christmas 2007

Opening gifts from Papaw and Aunt Jody on Christmas Eve. Beau got "race cars" from Papaw and literally danced around the room singing "race cars" with them in both hands. It was pretty funny.
Abby was sooooo excited. We made a huge mess making cookies for Santa, but they turned out yummy!

Santa came!!

Abby riding her new bicycle from Santa with Daddy and Rocky. In our defense, of course we bought her a cute little purple helmet that matched her bike. Unfortunately, it would not fit around her big ol' head. As you can see, Daddy stayed extra close...

Beau on his new Power Wheels 4-Wheeler. He was kind of irritated that he couldn't quite keep up with Abby riding her new bike.

So proud...

Bedtime Christmas Day night - thank-you to Mee-Mee for the new PJs and cute slippers!

The budding (topless) artist on her new easel. At least she has on an apron!
Here are (some) Christmas pictures - finally! Toby had only put a few on the computer, so these are some of what were downloaded. The kids had a great Christmas, although we REALLY missed all of our family and friends. Toby said next year we have to go to one of our hometowns or people have to come here because we just don't have enough attention between the 2 of us to give these kids at Christmas at the ages they are! I agree, and I also hate that our families didn't get the witness the sheer joy and delight that came with Christmas morning. They had so much fun and got lots of fun stuff from Santa and everyone else! I hope everyone else had a very Merry Christmas and that you have a Happy New Year! I'll try to do better posting...sorry!

I love all of your new pictures!! It is so crazy seeing Abby on a big girl bike! I finally took Andrew to the doctor today- 104 fever that I couldn't get down for 24 hrs. He has an ear infection and the flu...Great...I'm glad I skipped getting my flu shot this year! He is on his first Abx ever :( I hate having a sick baby- it breaks my heart.
