New Years 2008

We spent New Years at home. We watched a few movies and hung out with the kids.





This is cute. Leeah has a blankey that she carries around everywhere with her. It used to be a large blanket, but I cut it into little peices, so that way when we lose one, it isn't a big deal. Well, she likes to play a game with her daddy where she puts the blankey on her head and puts one on his head. In these pictures, I caught them in the act.



Here are my babies in the tub. They love taking baths...until Joshua throws a cup of water on Leeah's head - then the screaming starts. This usually happens EVERY time.

Christmas Morning - 2007

We started our Christmas day by reading the baby Jesus story. Joshua even wanted to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus, so we did that too.


















Here we are getting ready to open the gifts. We were so blessed this year. It is so funny, because in the beginning of December we always start to worry about having enough money to buy gifts for the kids. But this year, it seemed like gifts were coming in from everywhere, so we had a lot under the tree this year. We just thank God for always providing.


















I have a Black & Decker hand vac, and the kids are always wanting to use it. They now have one of their own. You should have seen them all day, using it to vacuum around the house. The toy actually works which is neat. So now I have some help with the cleaning. (LOL)



































The kids had a blast opening their presents. What a difference it was this year, from last year. Now they both could appreciate it. Leeah was too young last year.


















Cliff was the wrapping paper person. He made sure the living room was clean. What a big help, because last year, we were swimming in paper and boxes. I got so overwhelmed. This year things went smoothly.


















Here is Joshua, once again, playing with his sister's toys. He loves girl toys for some reason. The cutest thing was watching him get Leeah to sit in this little stroller and he was wheeling her around the house. I didn't get a picture of that, but once, I do - I will be posting it.


















Well, that is the end of our Christmas morning. I wish that you all were here, but we did have a wonderful time alone at home. We got to eat some of the turkey I made, and we lounged out and watched a few Christmas classics like: A Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street, It's a Wonderful Life, and even Elf (which is a new one). Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone!!
