Christmas Morning 2009

Well I can defiantly say the Crandall kids we spoiled this Christmas. Here they are getting ready to come down the stairs to see what Santa brought. Patiently waiting for me to let them by. I just needed one picture. :)

Matthew discovering that Santa left Super Mario Brothers for the Wii.

Cole found Santa Buddies. This movie is one of the main things Cole was asking for, besides a trampoline and a monkey that ran around his room. Yes a monkey. I don't know why. Its just Cole :) Santa was able to deliver the movie. Cole was very excited.

Kaycee looking at her Lil Lovables. Its like a mini Build-A-Bear. Mrs. Clause is very glad she made this last minute find.

Ben putting together one of the boy's guns

James playing with his Zhu Zhu pet. The boys wanted a real hamster and I said "NO" The day after Christmas the kid's Christmas money was burning a hole in there pocket so I took them out shopping and they now each have their own Zhu Zhu pet.

Watch it or I'll shot!

Christmas day at Paul's 2009

I love the fact that I have some family here in Texas. Its so hard not having my family around expessually at Christmas time. Every year since we have moved down here we go to one of my cousins house for Christmas. This year we went to Paul's.
It's a Christmas Miracle. The kids are attacking their dad and and not me. :) Kaycee and her "boy friend" My cousins son, Taylor. One of the first things she said to me Christmas morning was she was excited to go see Taylor later that day.

Christmas Evening 2009

After we got back form Paul's house we opened up the gift from under the tree Matthew made this three tier square snow mans for Ben and I. There was candy in every section. It was very thoughtful and took him a lot of time to build.

James was excited for one of his gifts.

Family shot with all their loot. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa

Maddy and the sock monkey. Me: "Look Maddy a new baby." At first she wouldn't give it the time of day.

Then she gave it the "What the heck" look

Then she would just scream and it and push it away. It was so funny

Maddy looking at the ornaments on the tree. Also look she is standing by her self. :)
