Alex's First Shave

Christmas Day

What a lovely Christmas we had in the new house. Alex was so excited he was up 5 times during the night asking if Santa had come yet. Finally around 7am we let him go see what Santa brought. My pictures are kind of lousy this year. I was tired and put my camera on auto and just got what I got. The memories are still there though. :)

Santa brought Alex a wrecking ball truck with a building you can knock down over and over, just like he asked for!

Santa brought Asher his own guitar. He loves it.
Opening stockings. (If you didn't know what I look like rolled out of bed, avert your eyes. It's scary.)

Seth got an awesome recorder for his mac, from the Ericksons. Now they expect a CD... :)

Just scary.

Asher's tunnel

Bohemian chic?

"Hey Alex! What did you get?"
Got my kindle!

Alex got a video camera

Asher's microphone (We think he's going to be our musician)

Pie in a tunnel

Ready for dinner!

Yum!

Christmas Eve

It was fun that Seth didn't have to work this year on Christmas eve. We were able to have a low key day and go to church all together in the evening. Here's a bit of what we did.

The day started with a shared bowl of cereal...

We decorated a gingerbread house (A gingerbread house kit was one of the many blessings left under our tree when we got here.)

We played peek-a-boo
All ready for Christmas eve service

The Pajama Fairy came while we were gone!

Brotherly love

Cookies and milk for Santa!

A Messy and Undecorated/Kind of Unpacked House!

Because you asked for them....here are some pictures of where we live. They aren't particularly good pictures, but I figure as we get each room done I can update them with something more impressive. And yes, the house is a total pigpen, but I don't know with a seemingly perpetually sick kid when it wont be so here they are....

Upstairs living room (You walk in the front door to this room)

The kitchen/dining room are attached to the living room

Master bedroom (don't you love the light fixture? Yeah, I'm hoping to do something about that one...)

Asher's room (his is the closest to being done I think) The walls sort of look pink in the picture, but they're actually brownish.

Obviously Alex's room

Playroom

And this is obviously the guest suite! Where I hope you'll all come visit when it doesn't look like a pile of stuff I don't know what to do with!

Can you guess what this room is?
