Eddie's parents sent some firefighter hats for the kids and here they are modeling them!
Tim and Wadine brought Christmas presents for the kids and said it was ok for them to open them early! Just what a kid likes to hear - "It's OK to open them EARLY!!" They were thrilled to say the least. Here is a picture of Andrew hugging his new pillow. The reverse side is full of construction vehicles. Wadine makes the kids pillows and all sorts of stuff every year.
This is Avery with her new Disney Princess pillow. Aunt Wadine hit it right on the mark with this one! Avery LOVES anything Disney Princess. For Christmas 2003 Wadine made her a little huggy pillow with a christmas print on it. Here it is, 3 years later, and that is the pillow she sleeps on every night! But, with the new princess pillow, I'm afraid the old one has met it's match!
Wadine also made door hangers for each of the kids!
In addition to all of the wonderful stuff made by Wadine, she and Tim also gave the kids some books. We have yet to start reading the one Andrew is holding because he is too busy listening to the book Wadine and Tim gave him. The book actually reads the story to him!
They gave Avery a Cinderella book, as well as Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms. Avery and I have been reading a few chapters every evening!
We finally got our new dining room set! Pioneer Homes gave us a gift certificate to Gallery Furniture and this is what we used it for! There is nothing on the wall yet, but I do have it set and ready for Christmas dinner!
The plates I have on the table are an exact match to plates that Wade's granny had. Wadine has the original set and I liked them so much (and they have sentimental value to Wade) that I went and found almost a complete set on Ebay!
That's it for now :) I'm sure I will have lots to post after Christmas is done.
Merry Christmas to ALL and Happy Birthday Jesus!
