Christmas Love!

After Christmas comes pictures!!!!



      We made cookies a few days before christmas, and its totally going to be mine and shilohs new tradition!    she had a blast making them, and i had a blast helping.    She insisted on having  eyes, nose, mouth, and teeth on most of the cookies, even the bows and christmas trees.        Its strange that i dont feel bad eating one of the gingerbread man shaped cookies, but almost cant bring myself to bite into a smiling christmas tree.

We did christmas Eve at my brother and sister in-laws house.

Ate delicious food, opened "stockings" (they dont qualify as stockings in my book, since its not big fluffy socks, its gift bags so big i could fit inside them).

Played THE GAME.   our family game rivalry that really is called THE GAME.     its like aggrivation on steroids.    marbles, playing cards, large elaborate board...   

This is as close as we got to a picture with all the grandkids at once due to unfortunate photoshoot by my sister in law where i was not present to save shiloh from torture- "do you want a spankin? you better sit down and smile pretty!"    only one of many colorful examples.. 

so shiloh runs everytime My Sister-in-law walks into the room with a camera.

My handsome little boy checking out the christmas tree!

Isaac with some booty from his stocking!

yes. those are perry the platypus pj pants that i got seth for christmas :)

These gloves were in her stocking, and she just HAD to put them on right away.   they did hinder present opening quite a bit, but hey. shes happy:)     

Shiloh got her favorite movie in the whole world- homeward bound 2 ( i figured it was only her favorite because she hadnt seen the first one)  on a dvd that had the first homeward bound also.    Now they are both her favorite.

A barn, a drum set that i may live to regret buying but as much as she likes music, how could i not??

And last but certainly not least......................................(drumroll please)...................................................................................................
