Christmas

Sorry its taken me a while to post my Christmas pictures. Santa brought me a digital camera for Christmas (score!), but I still had to use the film I had in my old camera. But in any case, here they are!
We had a quiet Christmas at home this year. It was so fun to see the children's faces on Christmas morning! Well, Hyrum was still waking up, but Madison was so excited! There were so many presents for her she kind of got overwhelmed after the first 3 she opened. She just wanted to play with the presents that she had. Hyrum, of course, loved the wrapping paper, not the presents! The best part about Christmas is that we had all the time in the world that day as a family with no interruptions. It was a day of happiness!

Hyrum had just recently learned how to sit up on his own, so I thought he would love this toy. But I think he was more interested in watching his sister than playing with his new toy!

Madison loves to dance! She was just thrilled when she opened up her ballerina tutu from "Mama" and "Papa". She couldn't wait to put it on and put on a show for us!
Now, the best part about Christmas is the treats that you never ever get, except for on Christmas! Hyrum is close buds to Daddy now that he gets some of his root beer float.
"Nana" & "Papa Pete" got this mini tent for Madison. She loves that thing! It is always set up in her room now. At night, when she doesn't want to cooperate with the bed time routine, she just runs and "hides" in her tent. She thinks nobody can find her in there. Daddy has now taught her that it is a good hiding spot for her toys when she (or daddy) doesn't want to take the time to clean up... BUSTED! (Mommy fixed that problem!)

Don't you just love the things dads teach their kids, and the moms just sit there thinking "Why in the world would you teach our kids that?" I am glad to know my husband is not the only one guilty of this!

Madison's tutu is just the best! I can't even wait until Georgia is old enough to justify buying one for her! Aren't girls the best! I see Hyrum feel about root beer floats the same way Georgia feels about popcicles...how'd they ever get to have any fun if it wasn't for Dads?
