Christmas 2009

Early Christmas Eve. Goofing around! (He has a bow on his head, and ASKED me to take a picture! It truly was a Christmas miracle!)

We always open one gift on Christmas Eve. This is it!



A Space Book! Something not too exciting, but great for a good read before bed.

Well, it's upside down, but space pictures are all relative anyway!




Leaving cookies for Santa and Oats for his reindeer. (It was funny, we were going to leave them on the hearth, but because on "The Polar Express" they leave it on the coffee table, we HAD to leave them there!)

The Cookies! The last of my 72 peanut butter cookies. And I am happy to say that I only ate about 5 of them! I gave most away!

Coming down the stairs the next day. Funny story. Jake's pull-up leaked, so we had to get up at 6am and change him and his sheets. Well, it was still dark and we "didn't know if Santa had come yet", so he went right back to bed with no trouble. Usually if he gets up, he's up! Brian looked at me and said, "I wish everyday was Christmas!" Me too....sleep, the greatest gift of all.

Finding his Clone Trooper helmet from Santa!



Doesn't he look like a bobble head!


Try it on mom!

Not so comfortable!


The cookies have been eaten, and the oats are strewn all over the place!

Tie-Fighter! Darth Vader's ship!!


Clone Wars scooter


The Mega Rig! A space ship....awesome!!!!


Obi-wan's space ship!!!

Later that morning at the Grandparents! (We were there at 9:40 am, so it wasn't even that late!) LOL!

Jake opening his camera (Aunt Sharon gave him this, and I didn't think he would like it, but he LOVES it! Yay!)

It's funny to see how he sees the world! Everybody's face is soo big!

Sha-sha opening Jake's gift to her. He picked it out all by himself: it's a Hanukkah Plate! And no, we aren't Jewish! :) Too cute!

The guys: 3 generations of Roberts men! All first borns!

Playing, playing, playing!

Helping Mimi open her AWESOME camera! A Nikon D300. I'm so green I can hardly stand it!!


He wouldn't take it off for anything!
