Look What Santa Left

Greg and I stayed up late to see what Santa would bring the kids on Christmas morning...

Cooper's pile
A Farm House
A Bounce Back Racer
A Thomas the Tank Engine Train Set
Reagan's pile
A Dinosaur Park
A Zoo
A Mermaid Barbie
and a personalized pillow for her bed
Rumor has it that Santa didn't finish assembling all the toys until 2am!!

Christmas Eve Preparations

We had a lot to do today to get ready for Christmas...

Reagan brought this poem home from school...
and every night, we put on a piece of Santa's beard ~ today was the last day!
We made some cookies for Santa ~ White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies...from scratch
Reagan loves to help me bake
adding the cranberries
licking the beaters
Mom and Reagan in the kitchen
tasting her creations
Cooper enjoyed them too (he went to work with daddy this morning, but was glad to have a treat when he came home!)
While Cooper was napping, Reagan made Santa some sugar cookies...again, from scratch
rolling out the dough to just the right size
using Christmas shaped cookie cutters

Love, love, love this girl!
she can't wait for them to be ready

icing the cookies

adding the sprinkles
making sure the icing is ok to eat!
I love to watch these hands work
When we got home from our Christmas Eve service at church, Reagan set out some Reindeer Food she had made at school and some water for Santa's Reindeer
Cooper was there to supervise!

Preparing Santa's plate of homemade cookies
Cooper helped out with the milk
Our yearly tradition of new Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve

Time for bed!!!

Merry Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas from our house to yours. We woke up this morning to a white Christmas (so it is left over from the snow last week, but we are still having a white Christmas none the less!). The kids opened their presents and played until lunchtime and then took a nap. Here are a few (many more on the camera!) shots from our day.

The view from our front porch
Look what Santa left ~ a all in one nursery and achoo baby a Barbie RV Camper
and a Razor Scooter for Reagan Cooper was left a Lego Fire Station HouseA Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and a GeoTrax Safari Train set
coming down the stairs to see what Santa left for them

Santa ate all of his cookies and drank all the milk

Hooking on the caboose




I got some red velvet cake from Santa
Of course, Cooper wanted to play with Reagan's toys In the stocking were some stamps & stamp pads to add to her collection a water ball pink, blue & purple fingernail polish
Cooper got some high bouncing balls in his stocking


Feeding the baby again
Reagan got some fingernail stickers in her stocking
Maybe he should ask Santa for a baby doll next year He loves to ride horsey on my back
Reagan wanted to try out Cooper's toys too
Playing together
Peace
Santa sent Greg a new Rick & Bubba CD
taking the baby's temperature
Hanging with dad

A Christmas message from Reagan
A dance from Cooper
And, a few quotes of the day from Reagan ~ "this is the best gift ever!", " just what I always wanted!", "Santa is the best!", "Daddy, you're not Santa. Don't say Ho, Ho, Ho!", " He must have loved my cookies", "Hey I had that first!", "Mine", "No, Cooper. Go away".
Merry Christmas everyone!
