Opening presents

I won't bore you with ALL of the pictures of us opening all our presents. But I thought a few pictures were blog-worthy. :) The kids all did a really nice job of waiting their turn. (we went youngest to oldest, except I got to go before Dan :) Overall, even though we didn't get to be with extended family, it was a really fun and relaxing time with our kids. All 3 are at such cute stages. And since this is the first year I have not been pregnant or nursing in 5 years, it was amazing how much energy I had and how relaxing Christmas CAN be! Great Christmas.

Kaylin looking in her view master :)

Trying out her new dress shoes. See how patiently Ethan is waiting in the background?!

Finally his turn again. This gift is 2 transformers.

Dan with his big gift - tickets to a college basketball game for a guys' night out. I'm noticing I did not post any pics of me with my gifts. So to fill you in, my big gift was a 512mb memory card for my camera (I somehow manage to frequently fill up my 256mb card!). And our big gift to each other is a ..... NEW COMPUTER - as soon as the new Microsoft Vista is available in February. 1 more month, 1 more month.... :)

Opening and trying out Ethan's big gift - a Castle.

Pace time with Dad

My "baby" :)

(Trey, I think you are right - he'll be taller than me in just a couple years!)

This is the pine cone Christmas Tree ornament Ethan made for us in preschool.
