Christmas 2009

We made it to Kansas for Christmas despite the fact that the Midwest was blasted with a huge snowstorm. Then we were pretty much snowed in after that. We had a wonderful time!

We even had someone around to take a family picture on Christmas morning!
Ethan really enjoyed opening presents this year. He opened them by pulling just a little paper off of each present at a time. Slow and steady...
JP got a soccer ball!
We opened a few more gifts back at our house in Nebraska. Too big to take with us!!

The wagon was a huge hit!! John Paul exclaimed "it's a wagon!" when they took the blanket off of it. Ethan looks a little pouty here, probably because John Paul wouldn't let him steer.
I am sure you parents will relate to this video. Classic situation: You want the kids to look at you and say cheese for just one picture and when you turn it to video, they suddenly respond!
