Emily's House

We had a playdate at Emily's house today. The kids had a lot of fun.

They played with play-doh, painted, worked puzzles and watched Clifford movies.

Playing at home...

Mommy got this bright idea that we would play grocery store today since Gramp Gramps and Grandma Fay got the kids a toy cash register and a ton of toy food. We set up the playroom with our food and got our shopping carts and even used real bags to bag the groceries! I had to make a few announcements over the loud speaker of the grocery store that anyone who was fighting or pulling fits must leave the store immediately!! :)

Aida as the "cashier" making a silly face!

Henry's cart is full of groceries...

Santa Came Today....

Well, Santa came last night and brought bikes and trikes for everyone!!

The four cousins together...Aida, Patrick, Makennah and Henry.

All in all, Christmas was very fun this year. The cousins played and played. Everyone went home today. My kids were pooped! They are still taking naps at 3:42 pm and they went to sleep at 12:30 pm!! Maybe we should have Christmas every week!! :)

Christmas Eve 2006

Well, we had a great Christmas Eve...My family came to visit and the kids have had a great time. We had Xmas dinner - turkey, ham, dressing, homemade mac and cheese, spinach souffle (which I made all by myself!), homemade rolls and cranberry relish. It was very yummy!

Aida eating her turkey and ham...but she prefers Kraft mac and cheese over the real thing!

The four Timpani grandkids eating Xmas dinner!

Not everyone had a busy day cooking...

Nate is ready for opening presents!

Daddy


Henry is excited to start opening gifts...and Santa still hasn't come!



The two naughty kitties escaped to the table (which is a no-no), but who could blame them with five dogs around! Fritz, Romo, Diamond, Rocco, and Prissy!! None of whom belong at our house!!

Copycat

My good friend Christy created a blog for her family, and I really like it....SO, I am being a copycat!! We just got back from Christmas at Gramp Gramp's and Grandma Fay's house in Tulsa. The kids got a TON of presents!! I will post more later when Nate opens up his camera from Nana and Papa! SSHHH! don't tell.
