Here we are ready for our Bethlehem dinner.
Rebekah saw this funny nightshirt in a catalog, so that is what I bought for her for Jammies. (Glad I bought flannel christmas jammies shorts to go under her nightshirt.)
The Thomas the Train was a BIG hit!!! Liam spent hours and hours playing with it! 
Sometimes he got up close and personal with the trains! ;-) He only wanted to play trains, he didn't even want to unwrap any of his other presents! Everyone else was finished unwrapping gifts and he hadn't unwrapped anything yet!

At one point he said to the train as it was going around... 'slow down Thomas, I want to Hug you! Then he picked it up and hugged it and said, "I Love you Thomas"! It was so cute!!! 
Liam also had lots of help building different track configurations throughout the day...
Amanda was the subject of Sariah's first photo shoot.
Sariah saw these really beautiful instrument ornaments and got them for her sisters. 
I think they loved them, look at their faces!

Rebekah of course LOVED her computer! 
Rebekah along with making a scrapbook for Amanda made her a CD of 'sister' music - fun stuff they like to sing together, and harmonize on, and other stuff that is a little more meaningful. Then she decided to make a CD for Dad, and one for me as well. When dad's was playing a couple touching daddy daughter songs, they hit us nd dad grabbed Rebekah in a big hug, and cried. The recent song by Billy Ray Cirrus and Miley 'Baby get ready, get set, don't go!' gets us about every time we listen to it. I cried several times as we listened to each of our 3 cd's.
Amanda Amazingly LOVED her books! (who would have EVER thought I'd say that!?!?!)
And of course she was thrilled with
her new phone!
And here we have our fashionista rocker babes!
And we can credit Grandma and Grandpa for the GAME extravaganza! 
The kids have had lots of fun (and us too) playing games. We have wireless games (as our friend R jokingly told us), can you imagine??? games that aren't battery opperated, or electronic??? Just regular old games.

Everyone seems to love this game Rush Hour. It is only a one person logic game, but it had a lot of use throught the day.
Elefun was one of the few games that would draw Liam's attention away from Thomas!
O.K. so we did get some video and wii games. 
The DS games they can play with each other on 
their different DS's so they are actually still interacting.
