Christmas Eve!

Izze with her new vacuum - toy of the night! If only it were real, we would have the cleanest floors!








Daddy and Izze sharing a box of Nerds candy. The Christmas kind proves to be the best.








Ian with his stocking. He is pretty content with just chewing on it!








Wow! What a busy few days we have had! All good though, except Brian has been a little under the weather. We think he had a stomach virus, he has been on antibiotics for the last four days. The rest of us have not gotten it. Thank goodness.

Christmas Eve was busy. We needed to finish up some household projects, then we had our family Christmas together in the evening. I fixed some goodies, which we had too much of, but later come in handy. Brian started out reading the Christmas story, and it ended with Izze saying happy birthday Jesus! Izze was so excited to finally open some presents. She has been looking at them for so long. She got a vacuum, some clothes, and a toy learning computer, but the vacuum was the toy of the night. Ian was content to chew on the ribbons, and bows, and anything else he could get into his mouth. Ian got some clothes and toys, I don't think he cared either way really. Also, Ian got another tooth! He already has three on the bottom and now one has broke through on the top. It was so fun to watch Izze this year, she has so much enthusiasm about things. It will be fun next year with Ian joining her in the excitement!

Brian got me a very special gift this year. A wide silver band with the kids names engraved on the outside of it. It is so nice. I got him some really cool shoes he has been wanting, not as personal as my gift, but it is what he wanted. We had a great family Christmas together.
