c-natalie-l-k-l: Christmas Day

This year we spent our first Christmas at home! We had a really enjoyable and relaxing day. The kids were so excited about all of their gifts.

Lucas got what he asked for from Santa--a Nintendo DS! He was so happy. Katie Pie got a scooter! They each got a lot of dress-up clothes; I had a lot of fun buying cheap costumes after Halloween!

A fairy dress

They both got lots of outfits from all of the Grandpas and Grandmas.

A Jedi costume--it is way too big, so I'll have to do some hemming!

My best surprise was an air popper for popcorn! It makes delicious popcorn. Lucas has decided lately that he doesn't want to use the popper because he hates sharing. He will only agree to use it if he can eat the whole bowl by himself. Lucas also picked out some bright green thread for me! Very sweet.

I made these capes for Lucas, Kaitlin, and the cousins. The boys are all Batman print, and the girls are Tinkerbell. I was so proud of my letters!! It was my first time using Wonder Under to make my own appliques.

Kaitlin got a play pen for her babies, which she sat in most of the day. She also got a few new babies, which she loves!!

Christmas would not have been complete without Legos!!

Clint didn't get anything very exciting from us! Our surprise for him was a new set of earphones! Whoo! :) A shirt from his mom:

Finally around 3, we showered, and my Dad, Diane, and Leo came over to open presents and have dinner. We ate a tasty, non-traditional dinner--grilled chicken! We also had funeral potatoes, salad, and homemade rolls and apple pie made by Diane.
