Did anything interesting and fun happen with your family, let us know. We didn't get too many Christmas cards, letters, or updates this year, so we're all ears.
Fun with cookies! All hand made because I can't find my cookie cutters.
Fun Note:
This is one of the only pictures I have of Sissi with glasses...they were ordered around Thanksgiving, two weeks later she broke them, we reordered them, then she left them on the plane on our way to Istanbul after Christmas...do I really go for a third pair of glasses in just 5 weeks, she seems to be doing just fine without them ;)...ugh!
Opening a present on Christmas Eve...
A Star Wars Lego set that Indy and I bought over 10 years ago.
Krypto was shocked that we were able to find him another Dan Dare book. He loves them and thought he had all that were in print...little does he know, his birthday is in 3 months, and I have another one, lol! (Hope he doesn't read this blog post....)
Sissi opening her one gift on Christmas Eve as well.
Totally her thing. My little designer girl.
Reading and setting up the set.
Reading his book before bedtime.
Putting together his Lego set.
So, we don't celebrate Santa, never have...I thought it was so funny that I found this note from Sissi after she went to bed.
"Dear Santa Claus, Listen to me please. If I am getting a table and chair set, please set up the dolls and the food on the coffee table, please," with an accompanying picture, just in case we weren't sure what she meant.
So, I did, along with a trundle bed set I had also purchased on Ebay when I was home in the US in September for my sister's wedding.
Can you say SHOCKED when she came out for the Advent and Bible reading in the morning!
She wasn't even bothered by the fact that she only had 1 gift to open since the table and chair and the bed were so large and didn't lend themselves to being wrapped.
Krypto, opening his stocking.
Gwangi was also shocked to get the Tusk miniature game rule books and metal mini figures.
A new Wii game, "Tintin."
...and a movie, "The Adventurer"
Gwangi's game and metal mini figures.
Super Mario Bros and Princess Diaries were Sissi's Wii game and movie combo.
Gwangi received a Pirates game....
and some more Disney True Life Adventures.
Krypto's big gift was a new sci fi board game, "Onward to Venus."
Gwangi's big gift was another Star Wars Lego set that Indy and I had been holding onto for awhile...
See the 30th Anniversary logo on the box.
My kiddos, all dressed up and ready to head to our Christmas church service!
What a lovely and blessed Christmas season we had this year.
May the Father bless you all in the New Year!
