Catching up on Christmas

Time has passed quickly and we have found ourselves a bit behind. We are hopeful that we can update the blog with pictures from the past several months over the next few weeks to bring you up to date. Here are some from Christmas 2008.

Alexis wanted to be the present or in the present or maybe she just liked the box.



Alexis having fun in the paper



As you probably noticed, Riley has disappeared from the pictures. That is because she fell asleep. Typically, Riley falls asleep around bedtime each night no matter where she is.









Christmas Morning

Santa was here!!

Christmas morning family photo with the dogs. I won't tell you how many times we took this picture. I actually think it was less than last year.



We were so tired of opening presents...or is Alexis just sad that we are done opening presents. Not really sure, but mommy and daddy were happy to be done.



Alexis and Riley with one of their toys. They both like this one - Little People animals.
