So here are the Christmas pictures! I'm sorry it took me so long but I was having technical difficulties uploading pictures. To make up for it, I've posted lots of pictures.

Below is a picture of the gingerbread house Parker and I decorated after a few days of it looking very nice. We were barely able to get it decorated because Parker kept eating the decorations! First all the gumdrops disappeared from the roof and then all the hard little candies were gone too. You can see all the colors where the candies used to be. Bennett even got in on un-decoration the house. It was fun so we will probably get one next year too.

Mom, dad, Michael, Crissie and Taylor came to visit us on Tuesday before Christmas. We had a wonderful dinner prepared by my sweet, talented husband on Christmas Eve.
Below is a cute picture of Taylor and Bennett on the hearth on Christmas Eve. Aunt Crissie was so sweet to get the children all matching pajamas. This was right before Taylor grabbed one of the stockings and the holder came down and hit him on the head and cut him. The next day Parker did the same thing and got a cut on her eyebrow. These stocking hangers will not be coming back out next year!
Merry Christmas....Parker, Taylor and Bennett running in to see the loot Santa left!

Bennett and Yaya playing with his new train table.
Bennett and Taylor acting like little monkeys. Taylor learned that climbing on everything was lots of fun after watching Bennett. This is the reason I have chairs and stools on the top of the table or countertops!
This is just a cute picture of Bennett strutting his stuff with his chest all puffed up
The week before Christmas our good friends Scott and Tina Young came to visit us. We haven't see them since they got married in June of 2007. We had a wonderful time visiting together. Also, they were so sweet and brought the children early Christmas gifts. Below is picture of Parker and Bennett playing together with Parker's gift. They don't play this well together very often so I thought it was definitely picture worthy.
Bennett hasn't quite mastered the basketball goal on the ground so we found a way to help him out. He is so cute when he slam dunks because he does a "slam dunk" jump on the trampoline afterwards. I will try and get some video.
We had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and hoped that all of our readers did as well!
