Well gang, I am only a month (plus) late posting our Christmas photos. Better late than never I always say. We had a great Christmas staying close to home this year. Sarah enjoyed this one more than any so far. We had great fun making gingerbread houses, hot chocolate, Christmas cookies, and many other calorie packed treats this year. I guess this is why my baby weight is coming off
sooo slowly! Sarah read Christmas and snow themed books the entire month and asked such questions as, "Do you think I will hear Santa's reindeer hooves on the roof this year?" I love it! Christmas just gets more fun every year. Now with two kids, we can count on twice the fun!

Amy came over Christmas week due to her work break to color some Christmas pictures with Sarah. Good times!

Sarah loved dressing up like an elf in anticipation of the big day.

On Christmas eve, we opened our family gifts. Sarah looks ready to roll!

And she's off!

I had to take this photo because she had as much fun with this box as she did with the gift that was inside!

Daddy shares a moment with the littlest Coleman.

And mommy with her big girl. We have become accustomed with the "man on man" approach to parenting now. I don't know how parents do it when they are out numbered! Whew!
The next morning, Sarah found herself in the land of
Wi when Santa brought her a Mario/Sonic Olympic game. She has played it everyday since!

Santa also brought her a Snow White DVD and this beautiful Snow white sleeping gown. She was in heaven!
Then we moved down the street to have Christmas with Chris's family on Christmas day.

As you can see, Sarah had a technology filled Christmas this year. She got multiple
Wi games, a Leap Pad, a
Leapster, and a Digital Art studio. I can honestly say that this is the first year that she actually plays daily with her gifts. She was never a toy person, but I think she is becoming a "techno geek"(I mean this only in the most loving way possible)! Just like her uncle and Papaw from the mountains!
Pa paw opening a tool set.

I received the best gift from Amy...She bound my blog from the past two years! It is the most special and precious gift ever! I can't wait to show the girls when they grow up. (Sniff Sniff...)

Notice the clothes toss. As most kids, Sarah opened a box, found clothes, and slung them looking for more loot!

Leah on the other hand, was content to sleep in
Ma maw's arms. Next year will be
sooooo different!

Leah got a talking dog which frightened her at first, but has since become one of her favorite toys!
It was a great holiday filled with food, family, and winter fun. I love Christmas!
