Laugh Through It All: January 2009

Christmas morning! Evie and I were up first around 7:30 to enjoy the glow of the lights... Love that! Daddy got up around 8am and joined us for the gift opening. She had a ball with that this year!

Grandma R came over later that evening to visit for a bit and see all of Evie's new toys!

Whew! We're wiped out. Shrek was the perfect ending to the day.

Christmas Pajama Party- a three day affair!
We had a riot hanging out with my family for the next few days. We stayed up late every night playing games and chatting away (well once the kids had gone to bed!) It was awesome to see everyone!

Here's Logan and Amelia pretending to be sweet... :)

We spend Saturday afternoon at the bowling alley. It was pouring rain outside and we were all a little stir crazy (and nearly comatose from the amount of food we'd been consuming!) This was just the perfect thing to do!
Cole did great! He beat almost every other kid on his lane!

Amanda did pretty good too I guess (as long as she was on the bumper lane!)

Hmmm... maybe this is why Cole did so well... Um, Cole, are you changing your scores??

I rocked the alley too...I think I had my lifetime high score of 82!

Back at the homestead we had a late Christmas. Lots of presents for the little ones from the aunts and uncles, but also some fantastic presents from mom and dad!
Cole had to have his seat front and center!
