Christmas Morning!

Here are some pics from Christmas Morning 2010.  Everyone seemed very happy with all their stuff.  Josh was bummed that he didn't get a jet pack, but otherwise, we were very happy!  Thanks Santa!

All is quiet.  But not for long...

Jake and his BIG new Lego set.

Josh and his new Packers Throwback Jersey.

Jill and her new doll stroller.

Jake and Josh on their Ground Force Drifters.  Yay!

Jill in her new ride.  Just like GranDeb's!

Official Santa Photo

Here is the professional one.  We go again Saturday morning to a breakfast with Santa, so I will let you know how that turns out.

A visit to Santa and the Firetruck

So, this past weekend we decided to once again participate in a family tradition and go to the Heritage Texas Realty office to see Santa and play on the vintage Fire Truck.    I was expecting a horrible trip seeing how Jill is in the opening act of the Terrible Twos.  Not only will she not smile for the camera anymore, she refuses to look at it.  That combined with her usual fear of masculine strangers left me with little hope for success.

Shockingly, she did very well.  She still refused to smile or look at the camera, but she warmed up to Santa.  She introduced herself and her brothers.  Then re-introduced herself about 5 more times.  I can't wait to get the professional photo back.  I had to take mine from the side, so this is the best I have for now.

They are all looking at the camera and no one is screaming!!!!  VICTORY!  Oh, and Josh, get comfy okay?

Jill chats up the Big Guy after the shoot.

Almost a great pic.  Oh and minus the power pole!  ha ha.

Who says you can't climb in a dress?  Certainly not Jill.  This is on its way to the cleaners now.

Jake and Josh play fireman with the water cannon on top of the truck.
