Merry Christmas 2010!

It was another wonderful Christmas! The kids were so excited. We went out to lunch on Christmas Eve then came home and opened our pajamas! We've carried on the tradition from Dave's family of waiting in your room on Christmas morning until you hear "All Around the Christmas Tree" start playing. We woke up on Christmas morning at 8 am to Mason and Ellie yelling to us, "Mom! Dad! Turn on the music!" We opened gifts, ate an amazing breakfast casserole and after Cassidy finally took a nap, we went over to Cameron and Brittany's house for Christmas dinner. By the time we got home, we were all exhausted. It is so fun experiencing Christmas with small children.


Ellie was so surprised that her jammies were pink!

Snuggle time!

Stockings on Christmas morning.


Cassidy spent the entire morning crawling around getting into everyone's gifts and candy and trying to eat as much of the wrapping paper as she could get before we grabbed it out of her mouth!

Eating!



Mason has been asking for binoculars for so long!
Thanks Grammy Trish!

Can you find Cassidy in this picture?

Aunt Megan sent the kids some straw glasses. How awesome are these?
The kids are having a great time using them!

Cassidy Crawls!

She's figured it out! She's a little slow at it right now, but I know that won't last long. She is only 6 3/4 months old. The other kids didn't crawl until much later. I think it has to do with her weighing about 4 pounds less than them, and also having two older siblings to watch and want to keep up with. Cassidy is loving the fact that she can move around on her own. Just today she has already gotten ahold of two things we don't want little babies to grab (playing cards and Ellie's water cup). She is very determined to get where she wants to go, and satisfied when she gets there. Good work, Cassidy!
