Christmas @ home

From Christmas2008

This photo below should take you to the rest of our photos from Christmas. A brief recap: Christmas Eve, we made cookies for Santa and gave the boys the Wii we bought for them (and for Andy). It was a gift from us, seperate from Santa presents. We also opened up 2 new Nerf guns so that every male in the household is equiped to defend himself in a fight. I (Tracy) worked that night and then came home the next morning to open presents with the boys.

The boys liked their presents and were excited to open them. That morning they played and I slept. Grammy Pammy came that afternoon and brought more gifts! By now, even Ewan had gotten the hang of opening presents and they tore through the rest of the presents.

It was a nice day, the boys behaved great, and I was happy to stay home for the holidays.

Early Christmas with Grammy Linda and Grandpa Jerry

Andy's parents came over this weekend with presents for the boys so they could see them opening the gifts. The boys were excited to tear into the packages-except for Ewan who was engrossed in a movie. When Ewan did decide to join us, he made a beeline for Cale's gifts (0f course). Some tears, some sharing, everyone eventually calmed down and enjoyed the morning. The photo below takes you to the rest of the pictures. :-)

Preschool program photos

Click on the photo below to see the photos from the preschool program. The boys did great. It was funny watching Ewan dance around on stage when the entire preschool was singing. I did notice Cale singing too, although he wasn't as an enthusiatic dancer.

Look who's ready for summer!

Ready for summer, or just ready for his mamma to sign him up for swim lessons? Hmm. Or just excited to find his swimwear in the closet?

Cale's class (Cale is in the brown shirt)

Another of Cale's class

Ewan's class (Ewan has two little girls in class with him. I guess one was absent)

this one's a keeper

after many painful (for me) photos the other day, I got the boys to sit in front of the tree tonight. this was the only shot that I took and thank goodness that Ewan sat still for it because he had been moving and turning and I thought I was going to get the back of his head....so, I cancelled my other Christmas card order (it was backed up anyway-ooo not happy about that) and will replace it with this one. hopefully I can still get these out before Christmas!
