CHRISTmas Celebrations 2009

No Christmas would be complete without our annual dinner and pajama night with our good friends the Dilworths. The boys had lots of fun playing. Hudson sure does love baby Holland!

Barrett and Thomas were the entertainment for the evening!

And on Christmas eve we headed off to church for a TRUE candlelight service (the power was out for almost the entire service). Afterwards we had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner with the whole family and the Scotts. The boys got matching PJs and moose slippers.

And sang Happy Birthday to Jesus!

Then we headed home to set out milk and cookies for Santa.

The boys put out food for the reindeer too. Check out Barrett's face - it was COLD!

And Christmas morning we woke up bright and early to find that Santa had come! Hudson's 3 gifts were - a GI Joe tank, a real workbench with real tools, and a razor scooter.

Barrett got a scooter, a workbench with tools, and a Thomas the train set. (And of course plenty of candy canes in his stocking!)

The boys gave Daddy some boots.

And Mommy got an external hard drive (which I so desperately needed!)

Barrett loves his new guitar!

And Hudson does too!

Barrett on the phone with his Buddy Thomas - finding out what Santa brought him. It was the cutest conversation!

Jay's favorite Christmas gift from his parents - his very own Zhu Zhu pet (Chunk!)

And the BIG surprise of the day was a 4 wheeler from EG and G for all the grandchildren. Hudson loves driving it and looks like such a big boy on it!

We hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas too!
