The Day After...

We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the day of just hanging out and playing with all the new toys. Hallie woke up at 6:30 and came layed in bed with Tyler and me until Annie woke up. I don't think she realized that Santa had come cause she never asked to go downstairs or to go wake up Annie. At 7:10 Annie finally woke up and we all headed down stairs (well, minus the little guy, he was sound asleep). They were thrilled when they saw that Santa had come and that he had brought the toys that they wanted.
Hallie had no problem opening all her presents but we had to coach Annie to keep going. She was more excited about watching Hallie open hers. Tyler and I loved just sitting and watching the girls open and giggle. Christmas really is so much more fun when you have kids to be around.
We all got spoiled this year and want to thank all the Grandma's and Grandpa's that sent the great gifts. We loved each and everyone. Also, thanks to everyone else that spoiled us. Tyler even made us a Turkey dinner. It was awesome. He is really getting the cooking thing down. Oh, by the way, Tyler has a two week break right now and it has been awesome having him home with us. It gives me a good excuse to lay around and do nothing!Annie got the baby she wanted with the pink bow. She has really been into playing house lately and loves finally having her own baby to care for. She kept coming up to me and telling me all the stuff that her baby was doing and asking if mine was doing them to.

Barry finally woke up and found that his Sisters had opened all his presents already, I don't think he minded to much though. He has been trying to smile lately. He did it the other day for each of the girls and they couldn't stop laughing. It was so cute. I love this stage and can't wait for the giggling to start.Hallie got the Princess Island Barbie last year for Christmas but somehow it got broken and lost so she asked Santa for it again this year. It has been singing non stop since she opened it. She opened her dress and quickly stripped her pj's and changed into the dress. She really loves her dresses and skirts and can't wait til it is summer again and can wear them outside.
This is the only picture I got of the Puppet Theater that I made. I will try and get a better picture but for now this will do. It was so much fun making it and seeing them play with it.They got a tent and jumped up and down all day with it. This was a great picture of Annie! Here are a few more pictures of the day. Hope you enjoy them and Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Although it was a blast talking to all of our families on the web cam,We miss you all and hope that the day soon comes that we get to be with you again. I love technology.

Barry loves his Dad and seems to think that only Dad can put him to sleep. Just wait til Tyler goes back to school and I have all day long to do my brainwashing again! Mom always wins!
