Happy New Year

Wishing you all a very Happy, Safe, & Healthy 2009!!!!

Just a trim...

Bella hasn't had a trim since April so after we exchanged gifts Cathy just barely trimmed her hair to hopefully make it grown in a little more!

THANKS!

Kirk Christmas...

Last night we had dinner and celebrated Christmas with the Kirk Kids!
They had Bella all dolled up in her new dress-up stuff!
Olivia, Jackson and Abby

Helmet Heroes...

We got Wyatt this cool helmet heroes thing that you drive and lights up, has siren on it and talks!

As you can see another hit with everyone!

Let the unwrapping begin...

Yeah, it's time!!!

Wyatt was ready with all his gifts lined up!
Bella and Wyatt gave Grandma and Papaw a picture this year!
Where is Aunt Suzi?

The first gift Bella opened was twin babies from Dr Beth and she played with those for awhile before she unwrapped anything else!!!

Cameron got a fun game that was a puzzle he had to figure out to get the money out!

Susi and Bella played with these John Deer Tools that Wyatt got for a long time!

At one point she was doing that and Wyatt was playing with the doll house?
Role Reversal???

Workman classes upside down!

A nerf gun that everyone had fun taking a shot at!

Were you good this year? Maybe they are full of coal?

The wonderful doll house they had made for Bella! She will have years of fun playing with it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Before the Destruction....

Of the presents!!!

Another Spoiling Spot!!! We must of all been good this year b.c both of our parents did way too much for all of us!

Friday 26th, we went to Tim's parents for the afternoon to do Christmas! As I said before it was soo nice this year to spread it out and actually ENJOY spending time not trying to slam it all in and leave! Truly what I love about Christmas is being with family!

Anyways, we enjoyed a yummy meal and then had an evening of unwrapping gifts and visiting with friends and family!

Family Pictures...

We were excited the Dr Beth got to come for Chicago for Christmas...we

hadn't seen her since summer!
The Boyett's!

Bella & Baby Hannah...

Papaw and Grammy J got Bella Baby Hannah for Christmas and after we were down trying to take a family picture Bella wanted pictures of her and baby! Too cute! Funny how these turned out much better than the family pic!?!?!

Stafford Christmas...

An attempt for a good family picture...Bella didn't want to stop for that!

A new princess towel!

NOT FOR YOU UNCLE RYAN...

Beautiful tree and as you can tell we were SPOILED once again this year! Thank you! Making Chip a package!
Macy didn't care that all the wrapping piled up around her as long as she was in the center of things! Typical Lab!
Coloring with Aunt Rachel...hopefully you inherit some good arts skills from her!
Bella liked Aunt Rachel's cool new boots!
Emptying her stocking with Grammy J!
Christmas we had a very casual day at my parents, eating brunch, unwrapping gifts, snoozing, then eating dinner again! It was a very nice day and the first time in years we didn't have to go back and forth to family or I didn't have to rush off to work! A wonderful gift in itself!!!

Stocking...

We got so excited about presents daddy had to remind us about the stocking....

Some of the best treasures in there...

new sunglasses and tooth paste
What else???

a princess tooth brush

and of course chapstick!

Can't have enough of that!!!

Christmas Morning...

Izabella slept in until 9:30, then we all snuggled in bed with her while she had her milk sippy. We had to remind her that Santa had come and left some presents and then she went running down the hall, although Tim and I were able to get in front of her to get video and pictures...

Checking out her new Little People Castle, she loves the dragon that goes with it.
Opening more presents...
Trying out her new tricycle...
Ohhhh...Elefun!!!
And she is off on her tricycle!!!

After presents I started cinnamon rolls, Tim started is famous and healthy biscuits and gravy to take to my parents later and Bella got busy playing with her new stuff! We watched the Disney Christmas parade too.

It was a nice relaxing morning until we went to my parents for brunch and Christmas!

Santa Came...

And it was a

PINK Christmas for Bella
Tim and I got all her presents put together and ready for her Christmas morning. Once we put them under the tree I realized how PINK it was. Bella picked out her paper that was pink snowmen and then her castle and new bike were pink too!
As Tim coined the phrase after Bella was born...It puked pink again! I love it!
