"This Is The Best Christmas Ever!"

The words of a three year old summed up the Christmas season for us this year. It's funny how Eli said, "This is the best Christmas ever!" since this is the ONLY Christmas he could possibly even remember. We did have a blessed Christmas as we got to spend it with our family over several days.
One of the few good pictures I ever get of these two together. I'm sure there was some bribing with candy involved in order to get Emily to look at the camera at the exact moment Eli was sitting still.

It's always been our Christmas tradition to let the kids open one package on Christmas Eve and it's always new pajamas. That way on Christmas morning they are wearing them in the pictures.

It was Emily's idea to pose with Alyssa in the above picture. So when Eli saw them, guess who he wanted make the same pose with?

The nerf dart gun was the most popular of gifts in our house this year. (Unless you asked Alyssa and she would say it was Dace Dance Revolution for the Wii) Eli is getting pretty good at his aiming. One really does need to watch his/her back around the house now. On Christmas night the boys had a "Nerf war" and the funniest part was seeing Eli running around with a gallon ice cream bucket on his head which was covered with suction cup darts!
