christmas

Presents from Santa. The kids get one toy, a book, a stocking and a group gift for Christmas each year. This year they all got their toy from Etsy. Rory got a set of matryoshka dolls (she's been wanting some for a long time), Gage got a ping pong ball gun, Piper got a purple baby doll carrier and Crosby got a wooden stacker with his name on it.

Piper opening her stocking. It is very hard to get a picture of her with her eyes open. Any time I have to use the flash she blinks. She is very glad that Santa knows her favorite color and got her lots of purple stuff, but she still doesn't like him.  (For any one who doesn't know, Piper hates Santa. She says she doesn't want him to come in her house and she doesn't like him and he wears red all the time and she doesn't need any toys because she already has toys. A few days before Christmas she started saying that she hated him and that she wanted Adam to bring her presents instead because she likes him better.)

I wanted to make sure I  got pictures of Crosby on his first Christmas, but I seem to have gotten carried away and got way more of him than anyone else.

Another one of Piper with her eyes closed. She wanted a picture with her new purple car.

Crosby eating his unopened binkies.

Gage with his chocolate bar.

Opening books. Crosby had bright orange lips from trying to eat the tissue paper that his was wrapped in.
