Merry (Day After) Christmas!

Well, the Powers family had another wonderful Christmas. Evidently Santa Claus thought the kids were pretty darn good this year, because he left them lots of great presents. Adam got the Nerf Long Shot and Mario Party 8 (Santa must have known he was getting a Wii) and Emily got a talking Princess vanity set, Littlest Pet Shop stuff and, of course, more Barbies. I think Barbies now out-number the Powers family members by about 5 to 1! It was nice to spend the entire Christmas Day at our house, along with Grandma, Aunt Jane, Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Tim. There were several bowling games (thanks again to the Wii), lots of good food, and mostly...togetherness.The kids helped me make cookies Christmas Eve morning (okay...I didn't really "make" them, more liked "mixed them together"! It was quite a trick getting more red and green sugar actually ON the cookies rather than the table, but the kids did a great job of decorating (and they were pretty tasty, too!) The next picture is Christmas Eve night and the kids getting cookies and milk to leave for Santa (and we didn't forget the reindeer...we left 9 carrots for them!)

Waiting patiently on the stairs Christmas morning before going downstairs to see what Santa left!

Adam got Emily a Princess baby doll...and got a really great hug as a thank you!
