christmas...

Here are a few pictures from our Christmas. Since I am a natural light photographer, I hate having to use an external flash. Here they are anyway, bad colour and all!

Here Santa is reading a letter...

My wonderful son has refused to remove his "ninja mask" all Season long! He even sleeps in it. I had to document it here!

Look at this cute little munchkin face. Think she loves Santa?

Believe it or not, here I am with Santa too...

Here is my youngest son seeing if there are any more candles to blow out...

Here is our family room after Santa came to  visit. I thought I"d leave it blurry so you couldn't see how spoiled the kids are. They had a great Christmas though and did work hard to provide Christmas for many other kids this year so I think they deserved it!

This is Eddie, our Elf on the Shelf. He has been checking the children's behavior since about mid November. He watches them all day long, reports back to the North Pole each night and returns in a different spot each day. It's been a lot of fun to see where he will be sitting when the kids get up each morning

. If you don't have an Elf on the Shelf, you should really get one!

Here the  boys are lined up and ready to see what Santa brought them!

There are a few really awesome things about this photo. The first might be hard to spot but if you look to the left of my oldest son's head, you'll notice my Christmas present. Yep, it's that little box that says "canon" on it!! What a surprise. This picture was taken with my new gift. I think we'll have a lot of fun together!

The second awesome thing is my son of course. He got dressed up like this and went to a movie- lucky for him his papa got dressed up the same way! They are so funny.

Oh ya, I think the Christmas lights in the back are pretty amazing too!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had a great one. It's so much fun to spend time with out family, do things for others, and maybe even find some time to relax! 

Happy New Year!!
