We started the holiday on Christmas Eve at my mom's house. We went over early that morning and had eggs Benedict and bloody Mary's. After dinner, we had to hurry home before Santa came...
We had a great time getting to see all the children discover what Santa had left them. For Elle, this year was a Christmas of "Dora." Here she is holding her Dora balloon, sitting in her Dora chair, and wearing her Dora dress and house shoes. Elle's excitement made my Christmas!! It was so fun to watch her. 
Jackson got a "PSP" (or a game boy for you old folks).
Alli got some toys and books. Alli also got her first baby doll from my Aunt Cyndi. As you can tell, she loves her baby. 
Thanks Aunt Julie and Uncle Britton for Alli's new shoes. She can't wait for it to warm up so she can go swimming in Poppy's pool and out on MeMe's boat.
Alli likes the taste of beef (note the cow in her mouth) she got a "Little People Farm" from her Granddaddy and Nonnie.
After Christmas, the stomach bug made a stop at our house and left Matt feeling less than joyful. We had to cancel the invitation for Lucy and Larry to spend the night, but they still got to come by and visit. They brought Alli a zoo toy and a fun purse. Of course, Alli liked the box the best...
We headed east to Evan and Marta's to ring in the new year. We had a great time "settling Catan" on new year's eve. On Thursday we had a great big "trash plate" breakfast and got to visit with Charley and Rhonda. Alli and Kate enjoyed playing with their toys with Poppy.
Matt and I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and we wish you the best of everything in 2009.
