another celebration and Christmas morning......

Baby Kale was one of the highlights at the Welch christmas. He was
such a good boy being passed from person to person. The little girls
couldn't get enough of him!



Our Christmas was so magical!
We were so busy with the pre Christmas activities we ran out
of time to have our family outing to cut down our tree. We sent
Kirk to the city to grab one, it was nice with our busy schedule
to have it set up in the livingroom when we arrived home from
school and be able to decorate it right away.

We will never forget this tree! Have an eye in the following pictures,
you will see why our christmas tree was out at the curb before noon
on Christmas morning! lol



I love the next picture with the dramatic lighting,
it's perfect for capturing Shelby with her stocking.



The emotion in the following photos, is priceless. We
will never forget the excitement, when these packages were
opened!



Carsen kept saying, I wonder which box Santa put my Baby Alive
in......... she was quite confident the big man can through with her
request.



What do you think the girls have just opened?



These 5 photos with all the expression are my favorite!
Oh, and are you seeing the tree needles on the floor?





The Wii is a hit and everyone looks forward to their daily fitness
test!



Carsen loves her littlest pet shop playground,





..... and her baby alive, which she never put down the entire day!



Christmas was wonderful, we had a ton of p.j. days,
but we were excited for the new year as it brought a
new exchange student, and a trip to Kalahari.

But more about those later!!
