Merry Christmas '08

We had a great Christmas this year. The kids are at that perfect age where everything is so exciting. On Christmas eve, the kids opened one of their gifts and got some new pajamas to sleep in. Max were Cars and Sadie's were Dora. They totally loved them. Max set out the milk and cookies and couldn't wait for Santa to come. They woke up Christmas morning so excited. Max got a Leapster 2 and a Teddy Ruxpin. He loved them both.
I think they were both more excited about what was in their stocking than anything else. Max thought it was so cool to have his very own pez dispenser (in the pic he's holding Sadie's), and Sadie was too busy talking on her new cell phone to even notice her other gifts.
She's the queen of the looks and we caught a few on camera.
She was excited about her new Cabbage Patch doll. She loves babies and dolls. She got another one from Owen at Grandma and Grandpa van's party. It came with a little baby carrier and she carried it everywhere. Max and Hadley both happy to open their new glow stations. Max kept telling me he wanted one and told me I could find it on the "crayola isle"...it was cute.
We also had fun at the Turville party. It was fun to have my sister's family in town from Kansas. Max was so excited to play with his cousins Brayden and Jack and see their new sister Kate. They had a blast together!
By the end of the night Sadie was pooped. She was wearing the cute apron my mom made, she made me a matching one too. They were darling...I expect nothing less from her. She always does the cutest things. Another funny thing that kept happening was that our Christmas tree kept falling over this year. Every time I turned around it would be on the floor. I don't know what the deal was. Needless to say...not many decorations stayed on. It wasn't the most beautiful tree but it's a funny memory.
We are so thankful for everything that we have. We have awesome families on both sides and we love them so much. They are great examples to us and help us out so much. We love that we live so close to both of them and are so lucky to have them in our lives. We're grateful for two great healthy kids. Life is always full of adventure and fun. They are way too cute! We are grateful for the Savior and this wonderful time of year. What a great year 2008.

Fun pictures. Brayden saw the one of the glow stations, now he wants one. He doesn't know what it is, or what it does, but he wants one because it looks cool. Sadie looks so cute with the baby carrier and her phone.
