Lily got sick with a virus on the afternoon of Christmas Eve, so our plans changed a bit. Instead of going to church and spending the evening with friends, we were at home. We still managed to have a wonderful Christmas though, as we ate pasta, watched movies, and tracked Santa on the web. The kids wanted to be sure they got to bed before he visited McKinney. After reading The Night Before Christmas and setting out cookies for Santa, Marty and I tucked the kids into bed and had some Baileys while we waited for Santa. Christmas morning, Lily was still sick, but was all smiles when she saw her presents under the tree. Santa brought everyone's favorites including an I-pod and I-dog for Lily, police stuff for Sofie, and new Bakugan and DS games for Jack. The kids played together all day and we ended the day with a Christmas candlelight dinner to celebrate Jesus' birth(Sofie insisted on no lights). Ha! We hope your Christmas was as joyful as ours. Enjoy the pics.
The kids love our Christmas elves that visit us each year and "do mischief" while the kids are asleep. Here Jack is with Kennaway.
Sofie loves playing police officer, and she got a big kick out of abusing her power all morning. Isn't she tough? Ha!
Here I am being arrested by Sofie...at least she gave me one phone call. Ha!
Even though Lily was achy and running a fever, she was excited about her Christmas gifts. She was such a good sport!
Jack and Lily had fun playing Bakugan on Jack's new board.
Sofie and Jack had fun playing Guess Who.
Marty and the kids had a great time decorating a gingerbread house together. Marty has decided perhaps he missed his calling as a culinary artist and now dreams of starring on Ace of Cakes. Ha!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
