End of 2008

I didn't realize until just last week that I had only taken a few pictures of Christmas. I was pretty disappointed, I suppose that is something I will have to make a priority for the new year.

Anyway, we all had a great Christmas and we were all spoiled rotten, as usual. Thanks to everyone who made this Christmas extra MERRY!!!



Grandma Verla's house is like going to a winter wonderland! She has a ton of great decorations and I can imagine how magical it must all seem to a child. The kids loved looking at all of the pretty festive things and especially enjoyed her singing stuffed animals.



Hope has a new fascination with oral hygiene. The other day daddy got her her first big girl toothbrush which features Elmo, one of her favorite characters. She is borrowing mom's in this photo though.



Noah is very proud of Hope's interest in video games. I, however, intend to nip this in the bud. Is that the right expression? :)
