Lowe Family Christmas 2009

Okay, so here's the overview!!

As usual, Christmas Eve night, all the kids were able to open ONE present which I designate.

It's always something sleep related that they wear that night.

PJ's this year! I love footie pj's. SOME people don't share my love for them, BUT if I could get Jakob to wear them, I would.

Maybe even my Lover too.

After the opening, Isaak went to bed. He's an early bed timer, 6pm.

And I look forward to that time!

With the Tasmanian devil out of our hair,

I let the kids decorate a gingerbread Christmas tree I bought.

OoOOOoo, frooooosting.

And then if was OFF to bed with the little people so Santa could come.
The heathens wrote him a letter as they always do and left him goodies.
They wanted to show him our family picture too.


And then...
"...not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."

And with the magic of still frames,
I was able to capture Santa's loot just SECONDS after he left.
PS...Santa's hot. I grabbed his butt.


But he didn't leave before completing his mission!

An sure enough, at the butt crack of dawn, the madness began!
Actually no.
It's not madness at our house.
I'm one of those annoying moms who makes all her kids take turns opening EACH present so I can be sure to see their reaction.
They love it.
Not.


And after a MONTH of being spanked or slapped on the hand every time he touched a present, Penny was finally able to open one.
But he didn't really know how to do it without getting in trouble.
He liked the candy in his stocking the best and after two presents he was pretty much done with all that nonsense.


My FaVoRiTe gifts of the day were:
Isaak's robe.
It was free. I re-gifted it to him.


The boots for all rats.
The last time all the rats got boots they wore the CRAP outta them for TWO YEARS.
Moms like articles of clothing that last for two years.
Even if they DO cost a freakin FORTUNE.
Yeehaw.


The kids' favorite gifts were:

Jakob - M4 Air Rifle, Assault Pack, Tom Brady Jersey and MONEY!
Kora - MP3 Player, Cammies with name tapes, and MONEY!!
Miah - Air Soft Pistol, Cammies with name tapes and TOYS!
Isaak - August's bouncy chair and August's spinning toy.
August - Mommy's kisses and new paci's.


For the rest of the weekend, the kids spent their time being heathens and reeking havoc in the neighborhood with their guns.
Are we rowdy or what?

As seen above, Izey wasn't feeling too great.

He got an ear infection on Thursday and has been whiny and sad since then.

He spent the rest of the week laying in bed and eating con-corn (popcorn) with Mom and Dad.
In this picture, Austin is covering his face because he thinks if he can't see you, you can't see him.

He learned it from Penny.

And where was Gus this entire Christmas holiday u might ask?

Where he always is.

On the couch.

Watching the madness from afar.

Thanks to all our family who sent fun presents our way!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good 2010!
