Must Have Toy.

Awyn really wanted this toy. She wanted it so much she was trying to crawl to it. 

 

Ooooh, Fwuck!

Sam really likes his new truck. Tasha is pretty certain she doesn't like it very much. 

 

Awyn's turn!

Awyn liked opening presents too! She even played with some of her new toys! 

Ooh, Presents!

 

Pleeeeeeease?

Tasha really wanted Sam's dog treat. 

Dog Treats for Breakfast?

 

No Eat!

Sam didn't like the eat first policy very much. Poor boy. He cried for the entire 15 minutes it took for us to nibble our rolls. Sammy and Daddy made eggnog lattes to go with the rolls, and if I remember right, he did agree to drink a little steamed eggnog. 

Breakfast

Christmas Day must have Breakfast before opening presents... I made cinnamon rolls the night before. 

Fast Asleep

 

O Tannenbaum

The tree, after we'd played Santa on Christmas Eve. Sam was asleep, Awyn followed shortly after. 

Roughhousing

Sam and Awyn played on the floor on Christmas Eve. They really were having a lot of fun. Sam was playing a little rough, but Awyn was just loving all the attention from her big brother. 

Sleepy Party Girl

Awyn yawns a bit after getting back to her mama. She was ready for a nap. 

Big Pinata

Luis's pinata was even bigger than Sam's! Sam loved getting his chance to hit it though. This was taken at Luis's birthday party, on Christmas Eve. 

Sound Asleep

 

Trying out the new bed....

 

New Bed!

Sam finally got a big boy bed. We had a full size mattress and box spring in the garage, and set it up on the floor of his bedroom. He loves his new bed. 

Awyn likes the camera.

I'm using a slightly different photo downloading system than before, so this is a test to see what happens. 

Whew!

As we are still working on recovering all our old files, many of them lost forever, I thought I'd better put a post on my blog. Our computer died an ugly death right before Christmas, a couple of days after I posted about Santa. We are also in the process of changing our ISP. This means a new e-mail address. As for it being ugly, the old computer took with it most of our files. And the backup files are turning out to be corrupt or unusable. This inludes our e-mail address book, our ENTIRE digital photo gallery, meaning everything after the end of May is gone. We backed up our photos the last time the computer crashed and was revived. However, the last computer fit proved fatal. I am typing this from a nice brand new computer, very thankful that the price of mid-range computers has fallen so much, and hopeful of receiving a nice large income tax refund with which to pay for it with. Also very happy that Dell was running a fantastic Christmas special, so we got the flat panel monitor and printer for free, and a free upgrade to 2 day shipping. We did move the computer out of our bedroom, and that meant waiting for the park's electrician to put a phone line into another room. He just did that today. I do have Christmas pictures to post, as I hadn't wiped the camera yet after downloading it the last time, and we have a large memory card in the camera, so we took lots of pictures.

Awyn is starting to crawl, Sam is no longer taking naps unless he falls asleep in the car and we leave him there. Tasha is now 11 years old, and feeling her age.

I will be posting pictures shortly, just as soon as I round a few up to post. Also, I think I have to download the software to do it again.
