I Guess They Were on the 'Nice List' Afterall!

Santa Claus is coming to town...

'Twas the night before Christmas...

Avah and Kael in their Christmas PJs all ready for bed.

"He brought me Spike... I really was a good boy!"

Avah playing with her doll house.

Kael and Daddy checking out the cookies. Santa only took one bite out of each but Kael finished them off when we weren't looking. We saw Santa the Saturday after Christmas and he said he prefers snickerdoodles so if anyone has a good recipe...

Avah showing Daddy her house.

Kael playing with Spike. He is afraid of him when he moves so that is why he is on the coffee table. He doesn't use the remote much but does sit and chat with him daily. On the other hand...

Avah isn't the least bit afraid!

Christmas With the Weiners

On Christmas Eve we headed to Great Grandma and Grandpa Weiner's house for an 'Ugly Sweater' Christmas. It was a good time and always seems to go by too fast!

An 'Ugly' Family Picture

(My appologies to anyone who actually wore any of the sweaters posted this year!)

Maggie and Avah watching from above... This was Avah favorite view! She even watched the sweater contest from up here and then came down and walked through once it was over. She didn't understand why no one clapped for her. :(

Dick and Mollie in matching sweaters.

The winner... way to go NICK!

The contestants... Lauren not included.


We had another snow day the Monday before Christmas so I thought I'd go down to the crawl space and see what I could find for the kids to wear... well... this vest was about 2 sizes too small for Kael but I thought I'd try it on him anyway... He asked me what it was for and I told him the ugly sweater christmas and he said... "It's not ugwy, it's gweat!" He said he needed a Santa hat to go with it and I told him we didn't have one so he got his cy stocking hat and asked, "Will this work, Mom?" Then a little later he came out of his room with the blue long john's on... He loved it so much he had to put it back on after his bath and cried the next day when I wouldn't let him wear it again! What a fashionista!
