Have yourself a merry little Christmas!!!

Christmas Eve:

Mr. Krueger's Christmas on the big screen!

Chasing Eachother around the playroom!

Giving our family gifts to one another around the tree!

Attempted to put kids to bed early, so SANTA could come.

Put kids to bed at least 6 times, because they were so excited!!

~

FINALLY,

With snoozing little kiddies,

SANTA was able to COME!

WHEW!

(How he fits down our chimney I'll never know!)

At 7:30 AM,

A hula-hooping Lena bounds into our room!"MOMM!!!!! Heeeee Caaaaammmeee!!! And hee brought my HULA HOOP!!!!"

Lena says,

"Look! He ate our COOKIES, MOM!"

Dane the Rock-n- Roller

Dane says, "Mom, will you be in my band?"

(And what a band we are with him on the electric guitar and me on the accordion!)

Lena the CAT LADY.

Elsie the Toy-muncher.


snugglin' kitties is fun to do...

Lena's herd of kitties (with the addition of her new ones from santa)on our sofa.

Diggin' with SAND...

And mommy's gift to HERSELF. Crepes with berry sauce, drizzled with chocolate-peanutbutter sauce, and heaps of WHIPPED CREAM!

Wishing you the merriest..
