Miss Megan in the tights from Aunt Peggy and her new "bracelips" that she got in her stocking.

I just think this little girl is gorgeous.

Christmas from the Powers arrived on our doorstep this afternoon! I think the kids are going to be confused tomorrow when there aren't any more gifts to open! We took a few pictures of the kids opening the gifts from Ray's sister's family. (And just for the record, the tree is no longer in my living room! 10 minutes after these pictures were taken, the ornaments started coming off!)

Christmas from the Kilmers arrived today! Erin and I did something a little different this year for the kids. We decided to let the kids make each other gifts!

Today was our last day with Popa and Ma at our house. Even as I type this, they are on a plane headed back to Omaha.

It was such a blessing to have them here. Popa preached at our church on Sunday, and his sermons were a real blessing to me (and hopefully to the rest of the congregation as well). We did many fun activities, and they put up with the puking for the first few days they were here.

This morning we went to the Springs Preserve. It was a gorgeous day, and we had a good time playing on the playground and walking around the gardens.

Today was AJ's 6th birthday!! Oh how the time has flown! Since he had his party a few weeks ago, we didn't do anything big for him today. But we did have a fun day.

Today was the day we celebrated Christmas. With AJ being so sick yesterday, I was a bit worried about having sick kids for Christmas morning. But God answered our prayers, and the kids were all pretty healthy!

Our Christmas is a few days late this year, so today we celebrated Christmas Eve with "Pajama-Like". Aunt Peggy sent most of the pajamas this year, and they were a huge hit with the kids. Drew really really wanted another pair of fuzzy pants and was so excited when that is what he got! Megan got an adorable nightgown, and she loved the idea of sleeping in a "dress". Even though our home gets cold in the nights, she refused to wear pants or even socks underneath while she slept.

Here's a picture of the kids in their new jammies. Will post more from opening them later when I have more time. And AJ isn't smiling because he was so sick yesterday. Had been throwing up all day, so I think he did pretty well all things considered.

We're not celebrating Christmas until Saturday, so we decided to take the kids up to Mt. Charleston to go sledding for Christmas morning. It was snowing HARD, and the wind was blowing too, but they had a blast. I don't have any pics of the kids actually sledding (didn't want to get the camera all wet), but here are a few pics of them playing in the snow. (Click through to see the gallery link).
