Christmas Time

First off this year we got a few new trimmings for our tree :) I bought a bunch of fushia ribbon and told Justin what I wanted it to do - I couldn't make it do what was in my head, so he took over and made it beautiful - pics don't really do it justice...this was my favorite tree ever!!



This is Asher's Christmas Eve home-made present from me...
a super hero cape for "Asher Bug"

on Christmas morning - Keely and Asher had 1 present each from Santa along with a note answering all of Keely's questions from her note she left Santa next to his cookies and explaining what happened to Asher's Toy Story puzzle: Apparantely, Rudolph accidently stepped on it....As a result, Asher does not like Rudolph very much anymore.."OOwwwwhhhh, Rudolph!!"

A big boy CD player just for his room....he broke it after 2 weeks :(

We started a new tradition of getting the kids new jammies every year now...

this year they got paul frank monkey ones they both adore :)

Grandpa modeling for GQ in his new duds

Justin got a strap for his guitar (he was using string - it was just ridiculous)

and a map of rome for his office from the 18oo's

I got a coupon to get my hair done...which you can see was dire...

and lotion, lotion, lotion :)

Keely also got her skates that she has been begging for for 2 years!!

She's pretty good too crusing down the driveway.

Asher's new jammies and a suprise for us all...

a new hand made quilt from g.grandma quayle

which he snuggled into right away

Having fun with the peanuts g.grandma always sends :)

Kids made out pretty good this year (as always, thanks to grandparents!). Keely got a beautiful LED light butterfly night-light, more LPS (zebra, panda), friendship bracelet kit, books, the sweater she is wearing, art supplies, taylor swift cd and more I can't quite remember...Asher got a load of KungZu pets and a fighting ring for them w/armor, some cds, books, games, a toy story landfill set with all the action figures, more batman stuff, a nerf gun, and more....as a family we got a wii game and quirkle (which is the perfect family game - even asher can play on his own).....perfect day as always :)
