Christmas 2008

We've had a nice Christmas break this year. Now that we're back from Indiana, it is so nice to wake up when we want (except of course for the fact that the kids get me up a little earlier than preferred!), but I mean with no alarms set. I love the lack of schedule that we're on right now. After we had Christmas here as a family, we headed north. We had a wonderful visit with my brother, Craig, Hasmig and my adorable nephew Bennett! We miss them already. He just turned two in December and is already fully potty-trained and talks so well for his age. The girls had a great time playing with him.
This picture is of the girls Christmas Eve with the sign that we make every year. We hang it across the top of the stairs to remind them to call us and not come running down before we're ready. They can't get to our room without going by the tree, so we don't want to miss the "first glance"!

Both girls got new beanbags....obviously Mia was enjoying them too!
The BIG gift this year was a trampoline! Only Santa didn't set it up....Jason did it after we returned and it is the first thing they both want to do in the morning! This is the first time they got to jump...notice it is dark!
The girls love their Aunt Hasmig!!!
Bennett "holding" Mia!

The girls in their coordinating sweaters!
The girls with Bennett. We didn't get a picture with ALL the extended family 2nd cousins....by the time we thought about it, we were ALL too tired to attempt it!
