Christmas 2009

Christmas was an exciting day. We started out the morning with an early wake up call from an excited Willem.

Your big present from Santa was a kitchen, which was the first thing you saw when you ran into the living room.
Tia Julie, also in the living room thought Santa came a bit too early.

You whipped us up eggs and pancakes and who knows what else. You were so pleased cooking, you didn't leave the kitchen for at least a half hour.
Grandma made us a delicious breakfast. Afterwards, she gave you your Christmas present (which you'd already been playing with for several days), but still, you were very excited to play us a song on the keyboard.
After awhile, we all started getting ready for Christmas lunch and the arrival of the Weiss' from California.It was all hands on deck to prepare Christmas supper, even you were put to work:)
We were all so excited to have everyone together on Christmas! The Weiss' arrived, after a long drive on Christmas morning so we could all be together. The Torry's came over as well and you were just in heaven with all your people around. We had a delicious lunch and then Daddy announced to everyone that we will be having a new bundle of joy joining our family in July. Everyone was very excited!!
Some pictures of you enjoying your gifts from Santa:
Oom Rik wanted to make sure you were dressed in style for the big bowl game, so he gave you this good luck jersey, which we believe had something to do with USC winning a few days later:)
. A few hours later it was time to put Daddy to work in finishing his Christmas Soup, Pork Posole
Kissing the cook:)
Merry Christmas 2009

Christmas Eve PJ's

Growing up Julie and I would always get new pj's for Christmas, so we decided to keep the tradition going. Each of us opened our Christmas PJ's on Christmas Eve so we could wear them to bed that night and for breakfast the next morning.

By this point you were very into the spirit of unopening gifts.
You loved your PJ's because there were cars on them. All of the sudden you are very into cars!

Then of course we read Twas The Night Before Christmas, which you really enjoyed.

What a wonderful Christmas Eve!!
