Welcome Thumper Kwasniewski
I couldn't get any pictures of the girls faces when they saw Thumper (that is what they named him) - but they were absolutely ecstatic to have a real bunny! I think Santa did a great job building his cage from scratch!
Christmas Pictures 2008
We took the girls to the store the day before Christmas Eve to pick out presents for eachother - When I asked Alexis what she wanted Kayla to pick out for her she said "I don't want anything Mom, I don't need to take care of anything else except for a real bunny!" It was cute and she was very very serious... we explained to her that it is alright for her to get another present besides her bunny if Santa brought her one that is....
The girls opened their presents to eachother in their rooms first before we went downstairs...
They were excited to open their presents - Alexis practically tackled Kayla to tell her Thank you for the craft supplies!
Kayla loved her two new baby dolls that Alexis picked out for her... she is quite the little Mommy, although I'm not sure what to do about her constantly trying to fit about 7 baby dolls in one stroller at the same time!
Downstairs the girls were very excited about their bunny (pictures to come later) and anytime that he would move around in his cage, they would stop what they were doing and run over to make sure he was alright! Here is Alexis in action:
Of course Kayla held a baby doll most of the time we were opening presents!
The girls tending to the newest family member!
Kayla playing with more baby dolls....
Alexis with her new Barbie car...

And the only shot I got of opening stockings before the battery was gone! They did get some goodies in their stockings from Disney world and they were also very excited about that!
Alexis friend Angelina came over to exchange presents with the girls on Christmas afternoon - then they played make up of course!
The day after Christmas Nana and Pa came over to exchange presents with the girls... only a couple of pictures as my camera was still charging!












Cookies for Santa
Our plate of cookies for santa, some carrots for his reindeer and a letter written by Alexis telling him to have a safe trip and not get too cold in his sleigh!
Our Charlie Brown Tree - we have a real tree in our living room, but I used the top of a spruce tree in my garland and used the empty branches as our Charlie Brown tree centerpiece... 



Our real tree - We spent Christmas Evening with Tony's side of the family, then met my family for Mass at 10:30pm and got home at about 1am - I left my camera in my sisters car when we went to Florida and returned Pa's camera to him therefore I didn't get any pictures of Christmas Eve at Nana & Pa's... the battery was almost dead on my camera that I retrieved from my sister at Church so I also didn't get many pictures of Christmas Day! What a bummer, but there's always next year!~

Winter Day Fun
The girls were all excited to go play out in the snow - this was actually on Christmas Eve, not sure why the pictures say 12/23... after they played in the snow they came in and we made cookies for Santa while Daddy shoveled the drive....


I walked out of the kitchen to check on Daddy outside, and when I came back in this is what I found! Thankfully she didn't like the full mouth of frosting and didn't try it again...

Gingerbread House
The girls and I attempted to put together a gingerbread house.... I neglected to read the directions before hand and didn't let the icing "glue" sit for an hour before decorating it because it was already close to bedtime! So it was pretty much a catastrophe, but we had fun while we did it!

Cookies with Santa
Last weekend we went to have cookies with Santa....

All of the kids waited patiently doing crafts and eating cookies to have their turn with Santa...
Alexis friend from across the street gets her turn with Santa - her Mom did a great job organizing the event!
Alexis and her best friend!
And her other best friend!
Alexis gets her turn with Santa -
He took his time with each of the kids and really talked to them! Alexis told him that she wanted a pink bunny for Christmas - he looked at Tony and I and said "this year?" we said "yes Santa"!
He told Alexis she needed to be very responsible and take good care of the bunny, she said she would feed it, play with it and make sure it is taken care of!
