The kids sat on Santa's Lap....

I know it's a while after Christmas...but as always, I am playing blogger catchup!

We took the kids to sit on Santa's lap.
Gunnar sang "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth" and Santa laughed and told him he'd made his day!!
Santa asked Sienna if she'd been a good girl, and she looked at me out of the corner of her eye first (as if checking for my approval).

When I smiled and nodded to her, she perked up and said, "I've been a very good girl and I have been nice to my little brother."

Christmas Afternoon....

We went to my parents house on Christmas Day and ended up getting snowed in. It was a lot of fun to be able to spend all that time together.

Cute little Hannah Banana is such a sweetheart! I just love her smile and her cute personality.
And by the way...I am totally jealous of her gorgeous curls!
Gretta and Hannah are good friends....
Michel and Nolan manned the cameras - capturing all the festivities :)
"We are sexy manly men!"
Sienna, being the great helper she is, assisted Gretta in learning how to use her new skates.
My little Sienna bean is so cute - see how she is soooooo fashionable in her new Christmas hair ribbon!!
This day was the first time we met little Isaac! He is so stinkin' cute - I just wanted to snuggle with him the whole day!
Aunt Holly got some cuddle time too (practicing to hold her own baby boy - due any day now!)
And of course...EVERYTHING must go in Isaac's mouth for some taste testing!! Such a cutie!
He was very excited to open his gifts...
Hey! Who turned out the lights?!?!
Among other things, Gunnar was excited to get TWO brand new pairs of pants!! Without realizing it, Grandma Eileen and Grandpa Paul had bought him the exact same pants that Uncle Michel & Auntie Melanie had.
As Grandpa Paul worked on his present, Grandma Eileen gave Sienna a big "Thank You" hug for her gift.
Melanie and Kevin sharing a laugh
My super awesome superhero husband ... "Bug-Man!"
Later on Michel's "Rock Band 2" was busted out ....
And here is my Super Awesome Superstar Husband rockin' the guitar!
And here is super cute Grandma Eileen wailing on the drums! Go mom!!

We are so fortunate to have Michel and Melanie living here for the next few months! They drove across the country from New Hampshire, and arrived on Christmas Day. It was very apparent how tired Melanie was when we were downstairs talking later that night (around midnight). Either she was in mid-sentence or I was, when her head sank down and she fell asleep. It was only for a few seconds though, then she woke up and laughed when she'd realized what had happened.
