CHRISTMAS MORNING

Brady wrote Santa a letter asking him to let Nikki stay one more night so he could watch us open our presents. Santa said, "YES!"

What fun surprises are in our stockings?!?!?

Captain America!

Look at all my new space books!

Holy Wrapping Paper!!!

Thank you, Uncle Steve and Uncle Scott, for helping build my new space ship! It took lots of patience and lots of coffee to finish the massive project!!!

Letters to Santa

Brady and Cash were such good boys this year that they received everything on their wish lists! I must say though that the "toy helicopter that flies" was news to Santa's elves so they had to scurry at the last minute to build one. I now know that we need to write letters to Santa earlier than a week before Christmas next year so if anything comes out of left field, we (Santa's elves) are prepared!

Christmas Art

Cash's Handprint Christmas Tree from Little Lambs

Brady's Reindeer Ornament from Kindergarten

Santa's Sleigh and Rudolph by Cash

Christmas Tree by Cash (Notice Cash signed his own name! At 3 1/2 years, he taught himself!!! I remember when Brady was four years old, I worked diligently with him to write his name. One day Cash just nonchalantly brought me a piece of paper showing me that he had written his name, like it was no big deal. He also will copy sentences that Brady writes letter for letter and usually they are perfectly straight because he has such great fine motor skills. Oh the joys of being the second child and teaching yourself the ways of life!)
