A very merry Christmas indeed!

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas and we hope all of you did as well.  The kids gave us a Christmas gift by sleeping in.  Matt and I woke up at 7am and realized that the kids were still sleeping.  Knowing that it wouldn't be long before they were up, we decided to get up and get in position to capture the moment.  Matt had video duty and I camera duty.  I must say that I didn't get as many pictures as hoped for but Matt has some great video footage that we hope to share soon.

 Family T-ball time!  First batter is Carter and he hit a single
 With one man on base Ella Catherine hits a pop fly to advance the runner to second and take her place on first
 Daddy is the clean up batter and hits a home run to bring everyone in. :)
 Some swing time
 Fun Christmas pancakes
 "The Artist" at work.  While she was painting this I asked her if she would like a drink.  She replied "yes please".  As I put the drink on the table, she put down her paint brush and said, "The artist needs a drink". 
 Her first painting on her new easel.
Carter's turn painting!  Love the toungue sticking out as he works.  His picture was beautiful just like his sister's.
