merry christmas.

started our christmas festivities with ben's christmas party. his daycare did a really cute job. all the wee ones had to wear their christmas jammies.  totally forgot to send him onstage with his hat. oh well. beaner wasn't feeling too good here. he was still having hives. i tried to pick the picture with no noticable ones! {and i'm pretty sure that the hives are tooth related. he is now the proud owner of two}.

ben after christmas program. no we did not plan on the coordinating binky!

hanging with miss/aunt laura!

saturday we drove to indy to be with nick's dad's side of the family. didn't take a whole lot of pictures. this was one that nick happened to snap.

then with jerbear and gramma shell.

we bought these last christmas. had to guess on the size... little small but not bad!

 

fast forward to christmas eve...
hanging with my parents. chilling with great grandma.
yes, bows on our heads are required at all holidays. i'm pretty sure i have a picture of ben with a yellow bow on his head... maybe not on the blog, but i have it!

uncle kevin had some strings on his sweathshirt. ben loves strings!

 

chilling. gut out. happy. ;o)

presents!!
mister rolled over there while we were opening our gifts. total stealth mode.

 

 

christmas morning.
cute picture with jerbear. totally posting this for the two bottom teeth shot. click on photo to enlarge...

tried to get a cute shot of the cousins. idea stolen from daycare. this was the best of like 15 pictures taken!

love our camera timer. don't use it enough. forgot to use the flash with these. doh.
wanted to start a christmas jammie tradition. so we kinda coordinate. didn't want to be all matchy matchy. you got this version for ben's face. who cares if i look silly and nick is missing part of his head!

christmas evening/day with nick's mom's side...

cute reindeer bib courtesy of gigi.

a meltdown when we took away something. wrapping paper maybe...

all better.

nick and megan. just because...

ben finally figured out he could play with the ornaments on the tree.

busy, busy few days but so worth it.

thinking i might update flickr. that way if you want to be bored with more pictures you can.  still deciding.  thoughts? you can email your comments if you don't want to post here. ;o)
