our christmas

so i didn't take my camera out at my parents' or rhett's parents' houses...i'll have to get copies of those pictures later...but here are the ones that i do have of our christmas morning. :)


the week before christmas, my parents came over and built eben and emily jane a castle bed for their room...it is so incredibly awesome...but we were finishing it up way past their bedtime so eben and emily jane crashed on our bed. :) they were completely oblivious and SO excited the next morning. :) we moved them in their sleep so that they woke up in their new beds. they thought that was SO cool. :)
the AWESOME castle bed :) it still has to be painted...


marie dressed up for the christmas eve candle light service - with her very first hair bow...isn't she just so incredibly precious?!


christmas morning...our little tree filled with presents :) yay for consignment sales and hand me downs!! haha

emily jane's big present - a big tub of blocks!

their "new" hand-me-down bikes which they LOVED

emily jane's favorite present (from a dear lady at church) - an electric toy train that goes by itself and makes train noises. this girl is so into trains it's ridiculous.

eben's big present - an indiana jones whip that


enjoying their christmas presents ...

uncle chris and aunt ashley gave the kids a buble machine for the tub - it is too cool! they love taking baths with it and playing with the massive mountains of bubbles that it blows. thanks guys!!! you did awesome!


they did this all by themselves, eben even helped put emily jane's hat and apron on - now why they're cooking and cutting bricks is beyond me...but they look darling don't they?
