Christmas 2008

We had a really wonderful Christmas holiday in Greenville, SC with Bob's family and even got to stop in Georgia on our way home to see my family! Here's some pics from the trip.

One night all the adults went out for dinner and left the older girls to babysit. This is how we found them when we got home later that night.

Carrie lost her first tooth Christmas Eve! (And the black eye is from playing too rough with the cousins - I think she and Gabe bonked heads! She was looking pretty rough!)

Carrie and Gabe were the first ones ready to go downstairs Christmas morning, but no one goes down until everyone is ready!Now they're all ready! Camera's rolling...

Carrie's stash - she got boots and a ballerian barbie and a magnet set from Santa.

Ethan's stash - He got a tool set and tool box and a cowboy hat, bandana, and lasso (he calls it his 'yasso wope'! He's too cute!

Carrie exclaims in an unbelieveably shrill voice, "I got boots!!!!"

Can you tell she liked them?!

That's cousin Jack McNeil. He and Ethan are very close in age. Its great for them to have a playmate!

The little kids put on a Nativity story for us. Amanda directed and Aunt Katie narrated. Carrie was Mary and Gabe was Joseph. It was precious!
