Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas to us--the kids didn't wake up until 7:45! Santa had been here and left lots of goodies in the stockings.

Faith got the hot pink DSi she asked for,

and Christian not only got the requested Fisher Price Imaginext dragon castle, he also got the surprise of a new bike!

There were even gifts for the pets. Elderly Crumpet got some doggy steps to help her get up on our bed.

Here's an extra accessory to the castle, the dragon wagon which transforms and shoots!

Tony got Buddy this helicopter, but enjoyed it a little too much himself.

Helicopter in action:

Dusty didn't quite know what to think of the chaos.

We left all of it behind and went on to my mom and dad's. Here's how Christian felt about having even more presents to (legally) unwrap!

My mom & dad gave Tony a remote control airplane that you can crash and easily reassemble because the parts are held together magnetically. It's a dig at him because he bought a fairly expensive rc airplane a few years ago and terminally crashed it on his first or second outing.

Mom gave Buddy this cool book that has sounds for each page.

Faith loved this tiny Yorkie.

The biggest gift of all--Lagoon passes!!!

Next we went to Braeggers and continued the gift gluttony.

Lots of cute pj's, clothes and toys.

The pillow pets were huge hits! Faith got this bunny and Buddy got the bumblebee.

Faith also loved this puppy care set that included a dog stroller, dog bed and dog purse.

Here's one happy boy with Grandma Braegger.

We stopped by Great Grandma & Grandpa Quinn's to wish them a merry Christmas. They always gift us a very generous check and it's so hard to figure out something to give them!

By the time we made it to Great Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell's, Christian was asleep. I waited with him in the car while Faith & Tony visited a few minutes. Here's Crumpet in her Mrs. Claus getup waiting for them to get back to the car.

We had an amazing Christmas and were well spoiled!
