"Christmas Eve"

Playing with the new toys!
(Sidenote: I can't ever figure out what order to put these pictures in, so each post is completely backwards. Sorry!)

We also got the kids the video karoke machine. Here they are singing after Grace's dance class one day. Brady seems to like it more than Grace right now, although Grace never stops singing around the house. Josh enjoys it too. They all like to make up their own songs better than using the cartridges it came with.

Grace must have been a good girl this year (or Mommy couldn't stop buying!). She got a princess scooter, a Doodle writer, princess pj's, princess lip gloss and magnet dolls, a mini Snow White and a Snow White dress, sidewalk chalks, and shoes. Recognize a theme here?! I bet many of you know about this princess phase. Mommy and Daddy got her a cash register.

Santa brought Brady lots of nice things: Buzz lightyear pj's, Fox & the Hound movie, balls, books, a Doodle writer and a vaccuum. Don't ask--he loves the vaccuum. Mommy and Daddy got him a golf club set.

We asked Santa to come early since we were driving to West Texas for Christmas, and he happily agreed. The kids loved baking cookies for Santa and putting their wish list by his treats. Grace got more excited this year, but we try to make a bigger deal out of Jesus' birth than Santa, so we'll see how that pans out down the road.
