Christmas Morning 2010

We had a great Christmas morning! Here are a FEW of the highlights!

Lester must have been a good boy this year, he got the Zip Zoom Logging Adventure for Thomas he had asked for from Santa. He has been busy playing with it since Christmas morning! Thanks Santa!

Lester giving the kids' present to Grandma Liz.

Yeah!!!! CARS we can OPEN AND PLAY WITH!!!! :)
Thank you Auntie Twa and Uncle Jordan!
(for those of you who don't know, Joe has a HUMONGOUS hot wheels car collection and when he buys them, Lester just does not understand why we can't open them.)

The HUGEST art set EVER!

Lester showing the girls how it is done with their first present!

Angelina taking a turn at the wrapping paper, and then Valentina taking a turn!

It was a real metal, old school Jack in the Box! Very cool!

Valentina was all about the ripping on the next gift! The girls were so funny though, they handed EVERY piece of paper to Joe, so it was a slow process!

Then it was on to the shiny papered gifts!

What could be under this cool looking paper?!

DOLLS!!!!!

A blond one for Valentina and a brunette one for Angelina! They were so funny, immediately saying "baby, baby" and rocking them in their arms!

They have been carrying them around under their arms since and you better believe that they know which one they opened and which one is theirs!

Then Lester got to give his gifts to the dogs. He had asked me if we could write a letter to Santa to tell him what the dogs would like for Christmas, and I told him that Santa is very busy getting all of the presents ready for all the little boys and girls in the world and that maybe we should be 'Santa' for the dogs. He LOVED this idea! He had the best time picking out each dog a gift at the store, helping wrap them, and putting them under the tree. So when the time came, he put on his Santa hat, each dog came in, one at a time, he gave them their gift, and told them "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" in his best Santa voice! It was soooooo cute!

Pearl checking out her bone, and Bootz wasting no time taking his bone!

Crash got a chew/fetch toy AND a bone because he is LESTER'S dog so he gets extra special stuff! He was sooooooooo excited he jumped up and gave Lester an extra special thank you lick right across the face!!!!! LOL!!!!

This is my favorite picture from the morning!!! :)

Then came Chico's turn. He LOVED his bacon strip and took it right under the Christmas tree to lick it to death!

And last but not least, Rocket's turn! Daddy made him do a few of his tricks in order to get his bacon strip, Lester likes when he stands on his hind legs and reaches up high!

And one final Christmas morning pose of us all!

I hope everyone had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and here is to a

Happy, Healthy NEW YEAR!
