6 am Christmas morning, sleepy children peering into Christmas stockings.
Hannah happy about her favorite cereals in her stocking.
Canaan happy about deoderant and a
big bottle of Head and Shoulders, and
Jordan happy about cellulite lotion.  
It made me laugh and think of the line
from the movie "About a Boy":
"I had to hand it to the kid;  he could
be enthusiastic about some truly crap
presents."  
Sweet little kids excited about Hannah's present:  handmade coloring
books and cool markers for them.
Hannah included pages in the
book that reflected all different
interests of the kids.  If you would
like to see some of my favorite
pages in the book, click on the link

More creativity:  Jordan made CDs for Hannah and Canaan with some of their
favorite music.
Canaan bought Silas and Isaac Nerf
guns which they really wanted and
absolutely LOVED.  (Daddy went out
and bought them all safety glasses.)
Eden looking very intense in a rousing game of Uno-Moo.
Granny and Pop got Silas and Isaac remote control little
helicopters.  They are really cool.  Here Canaan is helping
Silas learn to fly his.  
And we had lots of fun with beautiful baby Bella, our darling little
great-niece.  She is nine months old and just lovely.  
And this brings to a close 2009.  We eagerly anticipate
2010 and all that it will bring.  Check back soon for more!!
Our wonderful neighbor, Mr. Chip, came by and brought
us a five pound Hershey candy bar!!  It was very
exciting!  And very yummy too.
