Our Merry Little Christmas

Sunday Aubrey and Grandma Marilyn made their "Genga-bread House". Aubrey really likes doing this with her each year.




Monday was Aubrey's actual birthday. We all went out to dinner. The waitress was really sweet and treated Aubrey to ice cream.


Yeah Jamie liked it too.




When we got home she opened her Birthday Presents. Notice the dress she picked out to wear. She wanted to be fancy. Thanks Grandma Robin...it was a great find, she loves it. This is Uncle Chris' gift.
Astronaut Barbie??? Huh, she really liked it. Could Chris have picked a better gift to give?
Wow, Aunt Nikki...Nutcracker Barbie. She really liked it.

Grandma Robin, She gets so excited about the packages.






Jamie gets a little cuddle time. Thanks Grandma.
Honey, Aubrey's favorite. She really likes these Grandma Robin.
And then there was Dill.

When Grandma Marilyn headed home, Papa sailed in. He brought his dear companion "Miss Tami". It was really nice to have her with us this Christmas.
After we got back from Church on Christmas Eve, a few neighbors came over to exchange gifts.
We also, delivered cookies to our neighbors. We have been baking fools. We have really enjoyed getting ready for Christmas. Here are some pictures from our little exchange.










We caught the girls playing in the wagon that the Rogers rolled their gifts over in. It was cute.


Our little tradition. Steven started reading this book to Aubrey in the hospital when she was born. We spent Christmas Eve in the hospital. We brought her home Christmas Day 2003. Anyway, Jamie participated this year. 'Twas the Night before Christmas is read before they go to bed.



So, this is Christmas morning...no more cookies and he left the key.
Aubrey's first glance.
The Doll house received the first touch.

Aubrey helps Jamie with his stocking.
Tinkertoys...wow the memories.














Dill likes her new tent!

A new scooter, is nice.
A baking outfit is nice, thanks Granny and Granddaddy!
The cats were ready for a nap 3 hours later.


Tonight was time to paint our nails. She likes her new makeup box.

Good bye Jack. We sorta kinda miss you! Hope to see you back next year.
