Merry Christmas

"The Aftermath" is the favorite Christmas picture of 2009.
We'll go backward to review the Christmas festivities.













The girls got American Girl books and mini dolls.Their pajamas were a gift from Grandma and Grandpa Cannon.















Clark has somewhat moved out of the"toy" phase of Christmas and into the "really useful gadget" phase.
Grandpa Cannon gave a compass and the headlamp he is wearing. Santa brought him fireworks. He also got new hiking boots, a knock-off Leatherman, a new coat, and an MP3 player.








Santa also brought Clark his first real Boy Scout shirt.















Faith got a little scooter.
















I hope you can see this picture clearly. This was the most amazing thing this Christmas. Mrs. Claus, AKA, Barbara Sherman made all these amazing doll clothes for the girls. I gave one little hint that the girls were really into their dolls and would love some clothes for Christmas and THIS is what she did! So cute and the girls couldn't believe it. They were screaming and jumping around. It's pretty fun for the mom too.





The night before Christmas. I like Cannon crawling on Faith behind Abe.
















Snuggly Christmas jammies.
















We've adopted the English tradition of Christmas crackers. You pop them open and find a little toy and a fabulous paper crown.













Cannon got cars for Christmas. A big car for him to ride in and matchbox cars.














It was a wonderful Christmas Eve and we are having a very relaxing Christmas Day. It is my policy to NOT get dressed on Christmas and I don't expect my children to talk to me for at least 3 days because they are so involved with their new treasures.
