Merry Christmas 2008!

Merry Christmas everyone! Today Layla decided to start the holiday a bit early... early as in oh, about midnight. She was up for some Motrin (teething again) and got a glimpse of some of the new toys under the Christmas tree. It was all downhill from there. The little stinker would NOT go back to sleep after that. She wasn't upset or fussy or anything, in fact she just kept laughing. But she refused to go to sleep. At about 4:30 a.m., Jake came out of the bedroom to join us on the couch. We were sitting on the couch in the dark, laughing. Layla would laugh, then I would, repeat, repeat, repeat. I told Jake that she wouldn't go to sleep so he decided we should just kick off Christmas. So, we've been celebrating for a while now.

Layla made out pretty well this year. Santa brought her a fisher price "grow with me kitchen", a stroller for her babies, a helicopter thingie, and a bunch of books. She'll likely be getting more gifts on Saturday at the Christmas we're hosting here. Spoiled rotten, I tell ya.



A few pics to share from this a.m.'s festivities, along with a snap shot of our winter wonderland, for those of you fortunate enough to be updating yourselves on our lives from afar, in a warmer, less frigid and brutal climate.

Merry Christmas! And it has started... the baby fad, Avery is still in it. Actually she was pretty upset today that her babies didn't have any presents under the tree..... She loves to share I guess. Glad you guys had a great day!
