Okay...so it has taken me forever to post Christmas pictures. But it is better late than never right!! Well I was going to put the pictures in order but I forget that the first ones you post end up being the last ones you look at....so when you look at these pictures....it goes backwards....starting with Christmas morning.
Jason playing with Tristan....they are having a battle. Tristan wanted a Prince Caspian outfit...so Santa brought him a sword set. He loves to do duals!
Kaleb wants to be the police and arrest everyone! So of course Kaleb needed to have a battle with Daddy also.
We got Becky a Twilight shirt. She read the Twilight series too and LOVED it!
Tristan asked Santa for a fishing set...so the kids are playing with it.
Kaleb is wearing his "police" glasses and is looking a photo album that my mom (Grandma Jo) made him. He loved looking at all the pictures!!! Thanks mom for the hard work!
Here is Kaleb with some of his police gear.
Terri....this picture is for you. I know you say that Jason and I are the "sunglasses couple". We both got new glasses for Christmas. Jay got Oakleys and I got Ralph Lauren ones.
Cheese!!!!
Here is me and Alex in our glasses...she got new ones too....doesn't my hair look great in these christmas morning pictures!
The kids got this game from Grandma Jo and Papa Wally. It is alot of fun!!! (look Josh and Kandice we got a new version of "Sorry" that we love to play!!!) (We use to play this with Emily and Jared too...back when we all lived in Cedar....ahhh the good times!!!)
Becky got this remote control spider and hid it under the table (christmas eve) so that she could use the remote to scare Jay with it in the morning!! It was really funny!!!
Santa brought Giselle a santa hat and a beard! Doesn't she look cute!! It stayed on for about 30 seconds!
Here is Alex in her hat, glasses, and her horses calendar that she wanted :)
Alex got Tristan a skateboard for christmas. Tristan and Kaleb love to watch the neighborhood boys do tricks on theirs!
Kaleb wanted a big, huge Batman....and Alex got this for him. She found great presents this year for her brothers.
Kaleb is under this helmet! He runs around the house in the helmet all the time! Giselle doesn't really like it when he wears it. She runs away from him.
Yeah!!! The boys gave me this shirt for Christmas. I love this series also!!
Alex found a letter that santa left in an envelope... on the plate....that the cookies were on!
Here are the kids in our bedroom....Christmas morning. They are sooo excited to open those doors and run down the stairs. While Jay and I layed in bed....we made them use the bathroom, comb their hair, and brush their teeth before we got up. We were trying to kill time so that we could have extra sleep. We were hoping we could find more grooming things for them to do....but there was nothing left. So we finally got up!! We were up wraping presents till 3 am....they woke up at 6:30...i think? So we were very tired!!
Here is the "empty" plate of cookies we left for santa. He left a letter for the kids.
Jay went to bed before I did....so I snuck around with the camera Christmas eve!hehe
I almost woke Tristan up....when the flash went off....just a side note... (He was sleeping with my teddy bear "Honey Bear" that my grandma Henrikson gave me when I was 3. It is the stuffed animal in the background that has the yellow shirt on.)
Alex slept on the boys floor so that the boys wouldn't run out in the morning....she is such a heavy sleeper lately....the boys could have snuck by her and she never would have know....and my sneaky boys would have done just that! (Thank goodness they didn't though)
Here is Kaleb sleeping!! He didn't even move when the camera flashed!
Every year I try and take a overview shot...so that I can remember what presents they got on some years! (I like looking at pictures like this, when I was little....cuz I remember certain toys)
Here is the mikl and cookies for santa and the carrots for the reindeers.
Here is Giselle sleeping. This is the bed we bought her for Christmas and she loves it!!!!
We heated the pool to 80 degrees on Christmas Eve and went swimming. It is a tradition that we would like to start each year!!! It was sooo fun!!!
Each Christmas Eve we read, "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and we read the Bible story.
Here are the kids checking the computer....on the Santa Tracker....it told you where santa was being spotted!
I love this picture (kids in their Christmas PJ's) because the flames from the fireplace look like devil horns on Kaleb....how fitting for his personality!!!!! (Sneaky Little Devil)
Here is me and Jay in our Christmas PJ's.
Presenting Jay!!! I made him pose like this!!
So of course....Jay made me pose the same way! Yes, I know I look like someone from Whoville in my long johns! But hey...they are sooooo comfortable!!!!
Here is a video of Tristan learning how to ride his skateboard. He is going to have to get brave....and try it on his own!!!!
(This is the only semi-serious picture I could find....most of the time he is being silly)
