Christmas

Megan's loot from Santa

James' loot from Santa

Waiting to come out. James slept with his train and ding dings that he opened the night before.

Stinky the Garbage Truck was a popular item among the boys in James' class. They had their first Show and Tell since Christmas this past week and three Stinkys were there (James was one of them).


James got what he asked for from Santa. A watch, a wallet and a mustache.

Megan with her new boots from me and her new coat from Molly & Kevin.

Walking her new dog.

Burt Reynolds was at my house? Oh, that's just Uncle Matt. :)

Cookies and Milk

Megan is mixing the chocolate in Santa's milk and James is putting the cookies out.


I guess James had to inspect Megan's work.

Christmas Eve

Opening one present at Grandma and Granddaddy's on Christmas Eve.

Megan got the U Draw for the Wii. Still haven't figured that thing out. Guess I'm going to have to read the instructions, as much as I hate doing that.


One of many trains sets to come this holiday.

The ding dings go down when the train goes by. As James said, "This is a good present!"


Uncle Matt is great to have around at holidays and birthdays. He'll put all the stuff together for us. :)

Goofing off with Daddy

William wanted a picture of this before the kids got too big to do it anymore (or he got too old).

Santas on Firetrucks

James and Granddaddy waiting on Santa to come by. Megan and I could not go because we were in Greensboro at the Justin Bieber concert.

Mom didn't think she got good pictures, but she got a pretty good one of Santa. She said she told James when he left he was going back to the North Pole and James said, "no, he's going back to the mall."

Santa that comes by our neighborhood. He took a different route this year and we had to track him down.

Christmas Cookies

Dickens of a Christmas

As part of Megan's dance ensemble teams this year, she performed at Dickens of a Christmas in Roanoke. James ended up getting sick while I was getting her ready, so Grandma stayed and watched him and missed seeing Megan perform again (he got sick at her first competition too). She has another competition coming up next month so let's hope James stays well so Grandma can actually see Megan dance this time.
