Merry Christmas 2010!!

We arrived at my sister's house for Christmas. We took a five hour road trip to get there and had a good time doing so. The girls were all packed in the car with things to do and their snacks.

Katelyn loves to do this. She will pick up a book and "read" the story out loud while showing the book. She does this all the time. I will pick her up at school and she will be sitting on the little couch in the classroom 9 times out of 10 "reading" a book to some pretend class.

Jordan was in heaven to be with her cousin, Jake.

Grandma Cruella, Jordan and Jacob


My sweetie loved making coke floats while there. I enjoyed him making them for me as well!

Santa came for the girls. American Girl Kirsten dolls for each girl.

Jordan wrote a letter and left it for Santa with the cookies. Santa wrote her back! Jordan is reading his note.

Katelyn loves my sister's cat, Chaucer, like she loves her own cat, Siam. She squeezed and manhandled Chaucer as much as she does Siam at home.

This was so funny. Last year, I bought Kara several Harlequin Romance Novels as a joke. They all had Christmas titles. I went to Target again this year and did the same thing. Unknown to me until Christmas morning, Katelyn played the same joke back on me. We both received our Christmas titled books!

Jordan loves science right now and received a box full of science books from CHH and me.

Our sister, Jill, gave "germs" (stuffed animals shaped in the form of germs) to our nephews for Christmas. Kara and Shery picked up Zack's "germs" and were being so silly with them. I won't even type what they were saying but suffice to say it was disgusting :) We had a great laugh.
