Christmas Morning.....early

Hello to all!

I hope this finds you doing well and in the holiday spirit! Last night we went to the 4-H center to drive through the Christmas lights and to visit with Jolly Ole' St. Nick! We enjoyed the lights, and Santa......but as you can tell from the previous photos, Lyza was not digging Santa! She doesn't even like it when we lower our voice and say Ho Ho Ho! She puts the bottom lip out and cries! It is cute....but I think we are done torturing her for this year.

Today Christmas came early for our family.....Madisyn is leaving for her dads in a couple of days, so we celebrated early! My mom and dad came down early this morning to join in the festivities! Madisyn got the much anticipated cell phone and nintendo ds! We hid the phone in a huge box, had her ring tone set to Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song, then Chris called and the box was ringing. It took her a little while to figure it out, but when she got part of the box open and saw the neon pink phone flashing she did her happy dance! It was cute and all caught on tape. Lyza was more interested in watching the new Backyardigans cd she opened than anything else! She got a few nice things today.....and I am sure Santa will stop by again on Christmas Eve! We are anticipating other family members on and off throughout the day. I have a pot of veggie soup on, veggie tray, ham and cheese tray, nut bowl, cheeseball and crackers and Chris got happy and made a fruit pizza :-) Enjoy the photos and Merry Christmas to all!
