Christmas 2008

On Christmas Eve, friends of ours asked Jamie to come over and play Santa to their kids and few of their friend's kids. I snapped a few pictures before he left.



Some after Santa Claus came pictures



Jasmine was the first one up. We aren't really sure what time she was up actually. It was more like Daddy rolled over at 5:30 am and Jazzi was staring him in the face. They went downstairs and I heard her whisper yell "Santa came!" so I rolled out of bed and came down. We always let the kiddos get into their stockings as they wake up. They all got toothbrushes, Webkinz, candy, underwear, books, Bakugan (boys), hair stuff (girls) and movies (well only Jacob ~ Wall-E and Jenna ~ Tinkerbell).



Jazzi was just a tad (ok, a ton) embarrassed over the underwear.





When he took his Hershey kiss cane out, he started walking around like an old man. He's so dang funny.









On to the bigger stuff. I didn't get that many great pictures. They were opening things so fast. Jasmine was Santa and was passing them out before I could blink. They all got great stuff and were quite happy.





She has her mother's hair (I'm sure Oma and Opa could find some pictures of me with the exact same Christmas morning hair).









Controlling the 'do











Yes, all three need the exact same game. I had no idea which games were which when Jasmine was handing stuff out and she just happened to hand them all Madden at the exact same time. Way to go Jazzi! The boys were all so excited to get this game. With Daddy and the boys, this is THE game!



Carl, Becky and Chad came over a bit later to do gifts. Chad loved his cell phone among the other things we got him. All the kids loved the gifts Aunt B picked for them. Of course I didn't get pictures. I don't know what my deal is lately with not getting pictures. *sigh*

They also got some great gifts from Aunt Brenda and Uncle Phil, Uncle Frank and Aunt Sis and Grandma Farrar.

On Sunday, Oma, Opa and Uncle Boo will be over to do Christmas.

The only other picture I got yesterday was of Jacob and Jenna. They were playing with their Let's Go Fishing Game from Uncle Frank and Aunt Sis and thought their fingers would make great fishing poles.



Merry Christmas to everyone! We'll have more pictures on Sunday when Oma, Opa and Uncle Boo come!

Poor Jenna

I went out to walk the dog and came back in the house to Jenna screaming bloody murder. She went to run upstairs and ran either into the chair railing or banister. She bashed her forehead pretty good. It swelled up quickly and was purple the second it happened. Poor girl.

She really only cried for about 5 minutes but was still doing that sniffle, suck in breathe thing for awhile. She put ice on it and then watched Tom & Jerry. All was right with the world again.

Jasmine, The Dentist

When Jasmine was a baby, she didn't get her first tooth until she was almost a year old and then they all just sprouted out one after another. Now they are all falling out one after another.

She had another loose tooth except this one had another tooth already growing in behind it. I let Jasmine know she only had a few days before she'd have to go to the dentist to get it pulled so it wouldn't cause problems for the one that was already half way out. Being as Jasmine is, the tooth was out 3 hours later. I think we owe her a co-pay or something now.

The one on the bottom is the newest goner.



Of course Jacob had to do something to be silly after I took Jazzi's picture.

Christmas Cookies

I made sugar cookies and the kiddos, minus Jordan since he wasn't here, decorated them. They each got a plate of cookies and a plate of icing. It's much easier to let them each have their own stuff then trying to share.

As you can tell by Jenna's mouth, she already sampled the icing.



Very serious work here



Jacob is going for the abstract look on his cookies.





Cheese!



Yum!



Check out Bear waiting for something to be dropped.



Proper sprinkle placement is very important.







Handful of icing



TA-DA!

Jenna's Clues

Jenna ran up to me and said "A clue! A clue!" and this is what I saw...



Not sure what Joe and Blue were trying to figure out with Jenna as a clue, but I'm sure it was something pretty cute and fun.
