Christmas 2008


The Christmas Wish List...

  • Jaedon wanted a air soft gun (and raised his right hand and swore to Santa that he would not shoot any reindeer).
  • Mattie wanted Rock Band and a surprise.
  • Zane asked for (as he jumped off Santa's lap screaming) balloons.
Santa's trip this year was a success.
Our holiday break started with a visit from Nana and Papa Steindorf. They don't like to leave their house during the holidays, so this was a real treat. We had lots of good food, & laughter, & fun gifts. They even left with and extra special flu bug (sorry). We went to our neighbor's for Christmas Eve, and the kids did a nativity program that included flying ninjas. I just love that part of the story!
Last year we were trying to hurry through the holidays to get on our way to Taiwan to pick up Zane...this year, I want the holidays to last forever - that might be a slight exaggeration. I did take all the decorations down already - I did wait until Saturday to start. Last year, time passed so slowly, and this year it just is flying by. It will be a year next week that Zane joined our family. What a difference a year makes.

The flying ninjas are my favorite part of the Christmas story too! Fun pictures! I'm curious about the box - was that the most used present as it always is in our house?

Love the pictures, and most of all the balloons on Zanes bike. What did he think of all of it. I bet he enjoyed the balloons more than anything.
