We came back to Cincinnati after Christmas and delivered the gifts for them from the family in Toledo.

Checking out the new books

Look! I got some earrings!

Are you sure the Tinkerbell dress up is for me?

I got a new baby doll!!

Christmas Day 2006

We stayed Christmas morning to watch the girls open their gifts.

Payton is such the Princess! She loves all things Princess and got a tea table set.


Can you say "EXCITED"?


Chris watching as Shelby opens some of her gifts.


Payton got a "walk along" doll.


Shelby's back under the tree!


Papaws Keith & Lonnie and Mamaw Sandi helping.


Payton's all set for shopping with baby.


Shelby looks on as Payton opens some of the Littlest Pet Shop toys they got for Christmas. I don't think there are many parts to these sets that they don't have.

This is what the World's Greatest Dad looks like!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we tracked Santa on NORAD's website. The girls got more and more excited each time there was a new video of Santa's stops. Once he reached Florida, they were in bed and asleep right away! Payton colored a picture and had Shelby write a note for Santa on it, giving it to him for a present. She was so excited Christmas morning when there was a letter from Santa thanking her for the present!

Payton is becoming quite the budding photographer!
She took these pics:

Wow! It's been a year since I have posted any pictures! We had a wonderful Christmas. We went to Cinci on Saturday and stayed until after the girls opened their presents on Christmas morn. Then we took gifts for Keith's mom with us and headed for Toledo for the next 2 days. We got the return gifts for the kids in Cinci and took them with us as we headed back there on Wednesday. We came home Wednesday night. Here are some pics:
Payton being silly in a Santa hat.

Here are a couple pics of Chris with Payton & Shelby
And here is Michelle.

Is Shelby trying to get into the presents?
