Christmas 2008
We had a great break and got back into our school routine today, but I wanted to post a few pictures from our Christmas! Santa surprised Beckett with a "Didj" handheld gaming system. He was pumped! Mom likes the Didj because it is an interactive learning game! Way to go, Santa! Helen was excited that Santa brought her everything on her list; Mickey Mouse, a pig, a Strawberry Shortcake doll and a stroller!
Helen with her Mickey Mouse!
I have always called Beckett "Chia Head" because of the way his hair grows straight up and never lays down. So I had to get him his own Chia Head! It is so cool and is really growing "hair"! I'll get him to do a post on his blog about it very soon!
After we did Christmas at our home, we went to Nana and Papa's house for breakfast. Connor and Lillie got a Wii from Santa and they brought it to play with! (Little did Beckett and Helen know that they were getting one only a few hours later from Granbob and Grankaki!) Here are Beckett and Connor "boxing"!

Beckett got an electric guitar from Nana and Papa!
They gave Helen her first bicycle!
We came home in the afternoon and Helen LOVED riding her new bike!

UNTIL.......

















She had her first accident!

Grankaki and Granbob gave Beckett and Helen a Wii game system and we have all had a great time playing it! Auntie Mame and Uncle Ron came over on Friday for brunch. Here is a picture of Auntie Mame and Beckett bowling!

Aunt Susi couldn't make it for Christmas this year, but she sent a game for the Wii called "Outdoor Challenge"! It has been a lot of fun!
Thanks everyone for a wonderful Christmas!

oooh, the wii, i want one! ha, ha. how fun and what a great thing for hours of entertainment!
sounds like you all had a good christmas. we are still recovering from being sick, wyatt's good but now boone is battling a bad cough and runny nose but i think is on the tail end. andy is "re-sick" with a cold but is also on the mend.

i love the pictures you took with helen and her bike, not fun that she had an accident but the way you posted the pics was so funny. hope she is ok.

have a great rest of the week!

Oh I just told Wheat that Beckett got a Didj and he freaked out!! Wheat got one for his birthday (3 days after Christmas) and absolutely loves it! They'll have a lot to share about them.

Tell Helen-bo-belen we hope her boo boo's are better from her fall. :)
