More Christmas--with Meme & HeyDude

Please, does anyone else's living room look like this?


My Uncle Frank had a great time playing with Noah. He is like a little kid himself!


Every year we read the Luke 2 Christmas story and pray before we open presents. Kirk read the Bible story this year and Noah was so cute looking on.

HeyDude and MeMe.
Noah started calling my dad HeyDude because everytime my dad saw him he said, "Hey Dude! What's up?" That's what stuck.


I am pretty sure the grown kids in my family had more fun with the new toys than Noah. No, not really. Noah had a great time too. He was really glad to have someone who would play with him anytime he wanted, where he wanted, and how he wanted! I guess Mom and Dad are getting to be old hat for him.

Aww... what a cute family

We tried to get a family pic with all of us by setting that silly timer again, and when we were just goofing off after is when we got the best one. The ones where we tried to stand straight and have everything just so always managed to be hiding someone, or someone wasn't smiling, or just whatever! We had a great time and oh my goodness, the toys! They were everywhere! Even the big kids toy--a new Wii!

Our First Gingerbread House!

Daddy was a great mixer!


Lots of little candies...


Do I not have the cutest family???


Noah had such a great time creating his first gingerbread house. Who knew it was going to be an all day ordeal! He started in his clothes and ended in his pajamas! I already can't wait until next year!!
