Christmas Eve 08
Every Christmas Eve, we open presents that say "From Nini" She always loved wearing jammies so we thought she would like the idea of giving jammies every Christmas Eve. Anyway, the kids were SO excited for Santa to come. Garret made sure the fire place was turned off. Lol. (you have to know Garrett to fully appreciate that) Doug read the "Night Before Christmas" that his mom sent us and we told this kids about Christ's birth. I really hope that they grow up knowing the true meaning of Christmas. But it is still so fun to do Santa! 
I got Dougie some super hero jammies, because he is my super hero! He got some ACDC jams too. I also made him some froggy jammies but I can't find a picture! They were the first real thing I have attempted to make, and they were too big and one leg was longer than the other! LOL. He said I could wear them for him. :)
Yay slippers! Thanks honey! He also got me pink star jammies!
Garrett in his new Jammers. He also got some Batman Jammies
London got Tinker Bell Jammies and Sponge Bob jammies and she wanted to wear them both at the same time. lol
So sleepy!
I had to get Dougie up so we could play Santa. It was so magical when we were all done! I just love having kids at Christmas! Don't you love Dougie's legs sporting his new Jammies? :) Fun times.

Christmas 08!
So here it is, Christmas morning! Doug and I were so excited to watch our kids have a great Christmas! This first one is of Garrett coming down the stairs. I thought it was funny that he found it necessary to bring his toy gun. I'll bet he would have shot poor Santa if he was still there! Lol! He is always very cautious. :)
So all in all, we had such a great Christmas. All the presents were great, but the greatest gift of Christmas is the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I am always SO grateful to feel the spirit of Christ during these precious holidays. We are all so blessed for the great sacrifice that he gave us all. I hope to always remember him above all else every Christmas season. Merry Christmas everyone!
Here is London coming down to see if Santa came. 
So cool!
Wow!
"For me?"
Christmas buzz!
This is what I got for Dougie. He is really into history and about a year ago he saw this and really loved it. It is of Benjamin Franklin signing the Declaration of Independence with tears in his eyes. I framed it all by myself! I think he really liked it. It made him cry. This country means so much to Doug and me. It will be nice to have a reminder of all the emotion and love that went into forming it.
Making dolly pretty pretty
Playing dolly with daddy
I got this in my stocking. So cute!
Yay a transformer!
Jammies from Robbie! Yay!
Yes?
Nanna and Pappa Rose sent Garrett some much needed new clothes! Yay!
Grammy Stephanie had these ADORABLE dolls made for the kids. London got Raggedy Anne and Garrett got Raggedy Andy. Well..... Garrett was really scared of his. He wouldn't even let me take a picture. So I told him we could keep it in London's room. LOL I am sure it will grow on him! I thought they were darling! Thanks Grammy! Don't take it personally, Garrett is a funny kid!
Yeah, they got spoiled.
So Nanna and Pappa Rose sent us this Rock band!!! As you can see we were really excited!
Doug's mom sent him a scrapbook with all the pictures of him growing up. It was SOOO thoughtful! It had me crying right away!
Doug's mom sent me a ring and a pair of earings that belonged to Nini. It meant so much to me! I was very touched by it. I can't remember the last time I cried and Doug's mommy got me crying twice in one day!
Dougie gave me this adorable purse. I love you baby!
So cool!

We have had SO MUCH snow latley. We could harldly get out of the driveway! But, we were so lucky and excited to have our friends Eden and Halley come play with us. ( We also got to have little Morgan but she is too little to brave the snow. ;) Anyway, the kids had lots of fun playing in the snow together!
