Merry Christmas 2011

The kids woke up around 8am to see what Santa had brought for them.

coming down the stairs
 1st look at his stuff
 Reagan wasted no time playing with the fairies
 Cooper loved his guitar
 Reagan was very excited about her big art box
 time for stockings
 there was a note in the stockings about an additional gift in the toy room
 they can't believe their eyes!
 a new art table
 checking it out
 making sure Santa ate his cookies
 Reagan bought Cooper a race car at her school store
 Cooper gave Reagan a purse just like mommy's
 a gift from her after school teacher Ms A
 a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble from her pre-school teacher Ms C
 Cooper wouldn't look at my camera all morning, he was too busy playing
 a new chair
 the dinosaurs were keeping the fairies safe!
 finally a smile
 Greg read the Christmas story out of the Bible while Cooper provided the background music
 back to playing
 and, in true Sandidge fashion ~ all the toys are lined up
 after church, they couldn't wait to get home and play with their toys again
 this little boy had to catch up on all the naps he's missed in the last week.  He napped on my chest for about 3 hours this afternoon.
"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord"  Luke 2:11 NIV

Naughty or Nice?

Looks like both of the kids have been good this year.  Look what Santa left!

this is what the kids will see coming down the stairs when the wake up
 Reagan's gifts
 Fairies
 a bean bag chair with her name on it
 an art box
 Cooper's gifts
 dinosaurs
 magna tiles
 guitar
 and a special gift for both Reagan and Cooper ~ an art table

Christmas Eve ~ New PJs

After church, the kids came home to new pjs, courtesy of Aunt Kim & Uncle Byrd.  Reagan was a perfect model.  Cooper was over having pictures made for the day, but he was a trooper for me and allowed me to take a couple of snapshots!

how did she get so big?
