 |
| a car... he loves it! |
 |
| jenny, max, annie, ashley, and baby grey. this picture was really funny because max would climb down and then back up and wedge himself right between jenny and annie and look back and forth at the two of them! (writing it down doesn't seem to show the true humor...but, it was hilarious!) |
 |
| cousin ashley and annie were very smart at the end of the night they sent lilly around with a tip jar while they played the piano... lilly's cut was three dollars! big bucks for a three year old:) |
 |
| max on Christmas morning, we got a late start because the kids slept in to 8:30. |
 |
| max's big gift from santa. |
 |
| lilly got a leapster explorer that she loves. |
 |
| baby grey got diapers from santa oh, and a pillow pet. |
 |
| lilly and max had such a good time opening their presents, they were so sweet and took turns and shared all of the things they got... it was a great Christmas morning. |
 |
| max and the family gift from santa. |
 |
| baby grey exploring his newly found fingers! |
 |
| for the last few years we have been picking names on the elrick side of the family. big cousin riley picked greys name and she came up with this gift all on her own. she made a book off of shutterfly for him! every page has a different cousin on it and it tells what their favorite color is. i think this might be my favorite gift the kids got. |
