Merry Christmas

Christmas 2009: We were blessed to have both Grandma Smith and Grandma & Grandpa Balts here to visit us for Christmas. This also means we were overwhelmed with gifts. As you can see there were a lot and there were some piled behind and under the tree that you can't see.



Although Ellie was sooo excited that she was finally able to open her presents, she still slept in until 8:30. No early Christmas mornings for us just yet. But first, before we open presents, we start with some cinnamon rolls that daddy makes. (We need to get good and hyped up on sugar first =) )


All in our PJ's ready to go!



If you can see in the picture, Tim put one of my gifts in a Eggo waffle box. When I started unwrapping the gift Ellie said "Look mommy, Dad got you something that is not gluten free." So cute. Thanks Ellie for looking out for mommy.



The boys wanted to touch everything. They didn't realize that they could open them, they just wanted to touch it all.





Zander loves shoes. He is holding up a pair of shoes that Grandma & Grandpa Balts bought for them. The boys wear them everyday.







We got Zander a dinosaur and he immediately wanted to play with it. He didn't realize there were more presents for him. He was content to just play with that one.







Grandma Smith got the boys a wagon for Christmas/birthday. Ellie was excited because she knew what it was. The boys were excited once it was put together and they got to ride in it.







Here is Connor sitting among all the piles of wrapping paper and boxes.










This is what Santa brought for Ellie. Barbie make-up. By the end of the day she had orange eyeshadow with glitter on and purple glitter on her cheeks and hot pink lipstick.

Boys playing with one of their presents. Grandma Smith got them this blow up thing with 50 balls in it (that they love to throw everywhere). They have so much fun on this!










































































Riding in the wagon. Grandpa Balts took them out for a ride after he put the wagon together.
