Christmas 2010!!

This year it felt like A LOT was done leading up to this day. Santa spent a lot of time looking for great gifts (and then returning them and buying the same thing back when they were cheaper than they were on Black Friday!) And all of that hard work was rewarded when the looks of joy came upon the kids' faces and the immediate possesion of certain gifts ensued. Nick was very sweet, not greedy at all; happy to give presents to others when he did not find his name on them. Chelsea laid eyes on her Dora trike and did not get off of it for about half an hour. Gotta love it....until the present wrapping was over and these were the words out of their mouths...Nick: "Can I play my new Toy Story 3 Wii game?" (this was a gift he received a week earlier). Chelsea: "Watch a show?" WHAT ABOUT THE 30 NEW TOYS/GAMES/BOOKS YOU JUST GOT???????? Santa was a little disappointed at first but then we prodded a little and they fell into step with diving into their new booty.



New Mr. Books!!!! Mommy: "Nick, which ones did you get?" Nick (without missing a beat and without knowing how to read): "Mr. Funny and Mr. Tickle". Correct!!!


Chelsea opened all of her presents while sitting on her new bike. She put each present into the basket for about 10 seconds before she opened it. So cute.






Jessie!!! I would like to give my own interpretation of some lines of Woody when I saw, "Jessie is NOT a doll, she's an action figure!!!" Jessie and Criss Cross Crash were the only specific items that Nick requested from Santa this year. We have the opening of CCC on the "big" video camera. Priceless. He screamed, "CRISS CROSS CRASH" when he only had about half the wrapping paper off. Still not sure how he knew what it was since he only asked for it because his friend Mikey told him he was asking for it. Nick had never even laid eyes on it before!

Poor Tommy. Santa forgot about him. He was very happy with this box though.

On to Uncle Pete & Auntie Tara's for a yummy Christmas dinner...

The Yankee Swap was a classic this year. One of our additions was a nice frame with a TERRIBLE picture of Papa in it. Quite a hit. Auntie Karen put in a man thong and the laughs went on and on and on.

The beautiful Stone brood (some of them)

Great Nana, Leah and Papa (there were many more people there (including 96 year old Uncle Abbot) but I didn't get to get a picture of everyone)

Uncle Matt the Mountain

Two peas in a pod

Brothers....or something more??!!
