MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
| It's Christmas and needless to say, our house is buzzing with excitement! Apparently, we were all good enough that Santa came to see each and every one of us! Yay for the Carder's! Tehehehe. Here are the piles that he left each of us! Kolby:  Zoe:  Jeff: Oops! Apparently we didn't get a shot of Jeff's pile before he broke into it all! That's what he gets for being SOOOO excited! Tehehehe. Shelly:  And last, but certainly not least, the pile for the whole family! We can't wait to have family game night and host a bbq with the neighbors to put these games to good use!  Here are some of Kolby's pictures while he is ripping into everything from Santa!              Here are some pictures of Zoe and all of her really cool stuff!     And Zoe trying on one of Kolby's new toys!  Here's a few shots of Jeff showing off his new stuff!    And Jeff trying on one of Kolby's toys!  And the stuff that I got!   We went with a not so traditional Christmas dinner and had a roast with potatos and of course, the honored broccoli casserole!    There wasn't much more we could do to put off opening the gifts that we got for each other. At least, not without the kids going nuts on us! Tehehehe! Jeff got a new light for the garage so that he can see better when he's building. He also got a new watch. Notice the color scheme? Some goodies to host a few shrimp bowls, new jeans and a bank from Kolby that reads "Dad's spare change" but he was sure to note that it was empty! Tehehehe.        Shelly was incredibly spoiled by everyone! Kolby got me the most perfect (his words..mine too) present ever when he bought me a toy motorcycle! Those are the first three pictures. Zoe bought me the most delicious smelling body lotion and spray set! Jeff got me a few of the books that I've been dying to read and a pine needle basketry book and kit to get me started! On top of that, they got me the most beautiful necklace from the Shared Hearts collection! Oh my goodness! Oh, and I musn't forget about the gift that Jeff worried bordered on the forbidden appliance gift given.....the coffee cup warmer for when we are sitting out on our magnificient porch! Tehehehe.            Zoe really got even more cool things! But without a doubt, the best picture of the season is the last one. That's where she opened her new MP3 player and about peed herself with excitement! Jeff and I are going to have this picture blown up and hang it throughout the house so that we can always remember what happy Zoe looks like! Usually she is walking around pouting, so we don't get to see this side of her very often!     Kolby got lots more toys and some clothes. As always, he was absolutely ecstatic about everything! He's so stinking cute!         The puppies couldn't be left out either!   The mess after all was said and done!  And finally, just a few funny pictures for you to enjoy!   How could we leave out Zoe's new bedroom pictures? Mom, you are awesome!   What an awesome, awesome day! We just wish that we could have shared it all with you in person instead of through the blog! Lots of love and kisses to everyone! |
