Christmas 2009

Despite my best efforts to get these pictures to post in the right order I have failed, so I'll caption them the best I can. This first one isn't from Christmas, it's our first morning back home after all the festivities (including New Year's) were over. Brody and Brooke were snuggled together in our bed watching a morning cartoon.

A Martha Stewart triple layer chocolate cake I made for Christmas day. It was good!
Brooke after her Christmas bath.
This was the Housewright side cousin gift exchange.
Santa brought Brody this new John Deere tractor. He just had to try it out even though it was frigid and snowing.
Brooke in her new Christmas pj's from Adam's mom.
Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Housewright's in their new Christmas jammies.
Me and Brooke just before she went to bed on Christmas Eve. Too bad she didn't know what was going on yet -- maybe next year.
Coming down the stairs on Christmas morning.
Santa couldn't fit Brody's tractor in the living room with all the other gifts so he had to go find it in the storage room. He opened the door and just froze there. Brooke's new kitchen was in there too.
Brooke in her Christmas outfit for church.
Two kids ready for church in their Christmas clothes.
This isn't a Christmas picture -- it's just a classic Brooke picture. Bow in her hair, paci in her mouth, playing under the kitchen table.
Christmas Eve all the cousins were getting their stockings ready -- they thought it was funny to wear them.
Getting ready to open Christmas jammies -- tradition.

Isn't Christmas the most fun with kids? I bet you were SO excited to see Brody's reaction when he saw the tractor.

I believe I have that same cake recipe. It really is so delicious. We always have milk with it because it is too rich for ice cream!
