First of all, I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas... I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I have quite a few pictures to share from our Christmas this year. It was funny, this year Alyssa was all about unwrapping and picked up on what she was suppose to do very fast. Then there was Matt, oh he was an old pro, but his issue was his behavior... so he was worried if Santa would even visit him. We had to make a special visit to the mall to see him the day before Christmas Eve... Alyssa was scared to death and wanted nothing to do with him, but Matt made it a point to tell the "big man" what he was wishing for. That night after visiting Santa we were laying in his bed and he said, "Mom, even if I wasn't good enough for Santa to visit me this year, I have my whole life to be good and to make up for it."
Alyssa was doing so good "smiling" for the camera... maybe alittle too good in this picture.
Matt.. he's such a great big brother.
The kids at Granma Angel's and Grandpa Scott's house on Christmas Eve.
Grandma had this nutcracker that is as big as Alyssa... she thought it was great. She was giving him love and hugs all night.
Then Matt wanted his picture next to the "man size" nutcracker. He is actually posing like he's a nutcracker himself....lol
Alyssa and I beside the Christmas tree.
The kiddos opening gifts. Alyssa got a pound puppy. Steven and I both had one of those growing up.
Matt got a wrestler.. he's all into that (like father like son).
Matt is also playing basketball... so we got him a Wade jersey.. He was excited!
Alyssa already likes Hannah Montana.. so she got a microphone that plays one of her songs.. we listened to that ALL day. She actually puts the whole microphone in her mouth.
Here she is wearing her Mr. Potato Head glasses... hilarious.
She was sooo excited opening her new toys.
Pa came out to visit Christmas night.. We had a good visit and ate some food.
Matt with his Pa.
The kiddos with Pa.. Alyssa didn't want to sit still.
I need to do a better job about getting pictures of the kids with everyone. I didn't get any pictures of our visit to Aunt Jenny's Christmas morning, nor did I get pictures of the kiddos with Grandma and Grandpa. I do have pictures from our trip to Knoxville and I will put those on later this weekend. Love you guys!!
Alyssa enjoyed hanging out with her big cousin Abby. Alyssa is only used to boys, so even though Abby acted like Alyssa was her baby... Alyssa had fun because she was a girl.

Alyssa's, we call her Boo, first real Halloween.. where she gets to trick or treat. She at first was scared of her giraffe costume, but we left it out for two weeks before the actual day and she got used to it. It was a hand-me-down from Matt. He too was a giraffe at her age (mainly cause Steven worked at Toys R Us at the time.. he was dressed like Geoffrey).
