Christmas Eve

Here's the kiddos in there cute new Christmas Eve PJ's. Lola's have the cutest part of all!

Next we read the Polar Express and try to listen to that darn broken bell!

After the story, daddy reads the real story of Christmas from the Bible. (this isn't exactly the favorite part of the kids yet!)

We got to open 1 present each that night. Joey protested this because he said that Santa wouldn't come if we touched the presents, no matter what mom or dad said. Eventually he gave in.

Get the tree ready, some cookies and hot cocoa for Santa, and a carrot for the rain deer. Now all gone!

Mom and Dad's favorite part this year was the pictures we finally put up on the walls in the living room. We especially love the bigger than we've ever had family picture, and the two beautiful fairy pictures of Lola framed and put on the North wall.

Our E-Christmas Card for 2008. ENJOY!

Happy Birthday Joey!

Joey turned 6 fun years old this December 2nd!

No one could be cuter!

A tradition in our little family is to break out your baby book! It's always fun to see how you've grown from a baby to such a big guy! (Plus we get to giggle at the silly pictures!)

Here's Joey showing off the stash from grandparents! Thanks Grandma B. The R/C cars were a big hit!

Blow out the candle Joey!

Mom and Joey love taking pictures of themselves together! :)

Joey "Shredding", and Daxie going for a ride.

Mom's official job - Acquire as many tickets as possible for Joey, and then count and cash in for BIG prizes!

Happy Kalahari Thanksgiving

We spent 3 days this break at our favorite water park!
KALAHARI

We were joined by our friends the Jones, and the Wilson's!

Cute "big boy" Dax. And goofy Joey.

First we watch Joey go down a kiddie water slide. And then it's Lola's turn!

Good job Lola!

Lola always loves the baby swings.

Dax tested one out too!

Dax often found himself with an owie, and mommy was always there to kiss it better. Or maybe he would sit one out.

Mom and Joey, and the Mirci boys off to more slides!

Some fun shots in front of their photo set up.

Joey trying his first shot of "Chocolate Love" as they called it. It was just some really strong hot chocolate. Note his pinkie And his after mug. And Dax entertaining himself as usual.

Lola hamming it up for the camera!

Lola mistaking Cathy for mom! And mom posing for a picture with the Wilson's cute little new guy Seth.
