Hayden in the Christmas presentation at The Meeting Place

Hayden was part of the Christmas presentation at church this year, with the other 3 and 4 year olds. He is in the red and white striped shirt. He is very entertaining!

Merry Christmas Kelly

More Christmas

After spending Christmas morning at our house, we went to Tracy's parents for Christmas dinner and more gifts! Hayden was really excited to receive a big WALL-E toy from Uncle Richard. Wall-E came with stackable garbage blocks too. There has already been hours of enjoyment.

Molly had a wonderful time with Grammie and Grampie. We stayed up for a few days, and it was nice for Tracy and I to be able to sleep in while Grammie and Grampie took care of the little ones, at 5 am! That in itself is a great Christmas gift.

Gifts from the other side of the world

Hayden and Molly both received wonderful gifts from Liz in Korea. Here they are wearing their hats and vests. Liz always enjoyed dressing Hayden up in costumes, and now he can do it every day of the winter with his elaborate "doggy" hat. Fortunately Hayden and Molly don't fight like cats and dogs, even if Molly is wearing her wonderful "Hello Kitty" hat.

Thanks very much for the wonderful gifts Liz. We hope that you had a great Christmas!

Christmas Morning

Hayden opened his first gift of the morning -- a new workbench. He is discovering new things about it every day!

This is Molly's first Christmas, and she hasn't quite caught the idea of unwrapping gifts, but she did enjoy what was inside.

Hayden opened his sock, and found an orange -- and a new WALL-E toy, which he loved.

Molly's big gift of the morning was her new "Octavia" octupus. Each leg of the octopus is a horn with a different note covering one octave!

Christmas Eve

Here are some pics from Christmas Eve.

Grandma and Grandpa came over to visit, and they opened their gift from Hayden and Molly. Don't they look happy!

Hayden and Molly sitting under the Christmas Tree just before going to bed. Don't you love the matching PJs? And you can see Hayden is enjoying the Dinoco helicopter he got from Grandma and Grandpa.

Molly is always on the move now, and Hayden enjoys catching her!
