I had so much fun shopping for the kids this year. I really scored BIG with the "day-after-Halloween" bargains I bought this year too (thanks for the suggestion Karen)! I went out on November 1st and purchased a bunch of 50% off costumes for the kids, because their favorite thing to do is to play "dress up". Well, my bargain hunting paid off Christmas morning when they each opened a huge box full of costumes. They went NUTS! It was so much fun to see :-).
Here are some fun pictures from our Christmas celebrations:
Here comes Santa Clause, here comes Santa Clause....
Judah and Mom-Mom White.
Pop-Pop White with the girls.
I love this picture of Maya waking up on Christmas morning. Does she look excited or what?
Chandler got the Optimus Prime launcher he had been asking for :-)
The big boxes of costumes.
Is that Tinkerbelle and Hannah Montana I see?
It's "The Dark Knight"!
It's an Easy Bake Oven!!
Chandler spent the entire day soaked in Transformer heaven!
The box says this dumb Transformer is for ages 5 and up....
...but there wasn't a child or adult in the whole house that could figure out how to "transform" that dumb thing back into a car!
Santa enjoying his first taste of way too much stimulation. Aka: The "activity mat".

Great Christmas Photos! The kids looks so excited! What a great idea with the halloween costumes. Bumblebee transformer must have been the item of the year. That is what I got Josh's Girlfriends little boy and also what my nephew got. And yes...all of the adults had a hard time figuring out all of the crazy transformer 'guys"...so don't feel alone! Have a Happy New Year! I still have that gift for you! Maybe coffee on Saturday!

You have a Happy New Year too! Coffee this Saturday sounds wonderful! Guess what? I get to return to the "Y" this Friday (I had to wait until Judah was 12 weeks)!!! I'm going to try running again-woohoo!
I will call you about Saturday! And that is GREAT news about the Y! I am sure you are very anxious to get back into your routine. Hey I did the Polar Plunge with Karl and some of the other runners today! It was the Global Warming Dash and Splash. A one mile run with a 1 minute plunge into Smithville Lake. It was not bad at all! I am ready for a fresh start to 2009 ! Hope to see you Saturday! Here's to 2009 ! Wishing you and your family a prosperous year !

Yes, this was our best Christmas ever! And again, thank you for my gorgeous blue Epiphone Les Paul! I love you!!!
Love you too, babe! I scored some good brownie points with that guitar, huh?
Christmas morning is the best when you have kids, isn't it!!
Love your cute new blog look, it's great! I need to do some sort of update but just can't make the time. Maybe some year...
We have enjoyed spending time with you all!!!
Karen-
At the top left of my blog there is a link to the "cutest blog on the block" site. If you want a new background for your blog it only takes about two minutes to copy and paste the html code to your personal blog. It was super easy...and free ;-).
