Finally the day arrives 12.25

Finally Isaiah thinks he can make a sneak attack on the presentsBummer, caught in the act....sorry couldn't rotate this picture the Christmas duds

Christmas Eve

Over at Bry and Kim's house Anne took most of the pictures I've been posting which is why we see her so rarely. This was one time I snagged the camera and got her and Mark

More Christmas in Georgia 12.23

Isaiah and Uncle Bryan Isaiah probably looks miserable because Dave would not continuously spoon ice cream and m and m's into his mouth. Actually I thought it was a great picture of Dave and Sarah, so I put it in Doesn't Isaiah look smug on Aunt Kim's lap?

Knox and Melissa visit for presents and chicken tacos

12/22 we go to the park and get Anne and Mark from the airport

I have another great video of Dave and Ellen both riding a shouting Yee haw!. I'll try to send them to you all. Ellen was fearless in climbing up and down this red ladder thing. I had the tightest grip on her belt and pants. Good thing she didn't slip or it would have been a nasty wedgie. It took Sarah about 5 minutes to assemble the sit and spin and Ellen at 2o seconds how to figure out to put her hands one over the other to make herself spin around. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly and intuitively kids learn. Ellen loved feeding the geese at the park.... I did too :-)

Continuing the Budd Georgia visit- After Ikea on the 21

Dave was an awesome one man band playing Jingle bells. We have the best video with sound extolling his talents. Look for it soon on eBay. We got both Ellen and Isaiah moccasins and gave them to them on this day. Ellen traipsed through IKEA in hers and Isaiah just mostly wanted to eat his Since Sarah posted the IKEA shots- I thought I would put up a few from after the momentus occasion on that day. I do need to meniton though, that Sarah looked like she was going to visit Santa for the first time, when we arrived at the store. She was jumping up and down excited!
