Holiday Tidbits

On Monday, Bubbie received a package in the mail from his Great Uncle C and his second Cousin H. He was so excited when I told him the package was for him, he said to me "Package for Bubbie!" Bubbie just thought it was the greatest thing getting a package in the mail.




This shirt, I believe, was his favorite. When he pulled it out he said, "Boat!!" It was so cute! Bubbie LOVES clothes and is very opininated about them, so when he says he LIKES them, you can be rest assured that he does.

Daddy has had this week off, from Christmas Eve through New Year's. Since he has this time off from work, he has been working on our floors in the Kitchen and front Hallway. Bubbie has reached an age where he likes to help and because of this, Daddy decided to let him help with putting tape on each tile so he could mark them. Bubbie just thought this was the greatest thing ever!! We decided to take some photos of Bubbie being his helpful self.







Keep your fingers crossed, hopefully soon we will have a fully functional kitchen again!! That would certainly be a great way to ring in the New Year!! Happy New Year's Eve everybody, enjoy celebrating the end of 2009!

Rice Crispy Family Fun!

This concludes our Holiday family activities, Rice Crispy Houses. We had intended to do this a couple of weeks ago, but time seemed to evade us this season. Bubbie enjoyed this activity last year, but this year Boo also was able to get in on the fun! Though I think she enjoyed eating her candy rather than decorating with it! With some of my help, her house looked great and Bubbie did a great job too!! He was much more meticulous this year than last, he was so careful about putting on the frosting and placing the candies. They truely enjoyed the experience!

Bubbie was really proud of his work!


Carefully placing more candies.


He did a great job, all by himself! What a big boy!!

A Very Merry Christmas!!

We wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas!!

We actually were able to celebrate a white Christmas!! The snow is absolutely beautiful and it really made our Christmas! The kiddos let Daddy and I sleep in until nearly 9:00am, which was a nice beginning to our Christmas morning. Once we woke up, the kiddos started to open their presents from family and Santa. After all the wonderful gift opening, the kids and I worked on assembling toys and opening boxes while Daddy worked hard on making our Christmas dinner! By far it has been one of the best Christmases for us!

Hope you all had a great Christmas too, but don't forget the reason for the season! Happy Birthday Jesus!!



These top two are out of order due to my accidentally erasing them, oops! Photo with Daddy and he is wearing his new pullover sweater from Mommy!


Boo decided to have a chocolate chip cookie this morning and Daddy made the mistake of giving her the whole cookie. She shoved the WHOLE cookie in her mouth!


The beginning of the unwrapping!





















Boo really got the hang of unwrapping presents and really thought it was funny to rip paper!


Bubbie took pictures with his new camera all morning! It will be interesting how those pictures turned out!


The cats really enjoyed all the boxes that Christmas brought them!


Got to love Boo's wild morning hair!!


Time to start opening the stocking gifts!!










Merry Christmas!!
