Christmas Recap

I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas! We had a great holiday season. I love experiencing the Christmas season through the eyes of my children, full of magic and beauty, wishes and dreams. We spent the holidays with both families, celebrating for three straight days! What a great time we had, with many memories made!

Santa came and went, leaving some very happy children some very fun gifts. Here are a few pictures:


Emma and her new learning table- a great toy for a baby learning to stand!
Ben and his new tool bench- a must have for the budding builder (and plumber, and electrician, and mechanic)!

Grace and her baby nursery- what every new mommy needs!


Here is one more picture of our knight in shining armor- he likes to protect his sisters from the often irritating puppy.

The New Year holiday was fun as well, with a quiet New Year's Eve, and a fun New Year's Day that ended with a sliding party and pizza with grandparents.
We hope you all have a happy and healthy 2009!

Looks like Santa was kind to the McDowells!

I guess I didn't comment yet. Sorry! Loved the Christmas gifts. Your kids are certainly lucky. Do you like your learning table? Gracie told me all about her nursery for purple baby today. Ben's tool bench is great! Merry Christmas
