The Cookies and Milk are Gone!?!

Poor Alex didn't quite grasp the tradition of "daddy" going downstairs first and him having to wait until Daddy was ready for the kids to come down (aka turn on the tree and get the video camera). The poor child almost started Christmas morning crying! When he reached the livingroom and saw the train set Santa left for him, he was so excited he couldn't get past it to any of the other presents. We have it on video which I will post but for now I'm just going to get some pictures up.

A surprise treat was Sarah's reaction to the train. She'd stand by the train station watching as the train did the track and everytime it stopped at the station and made the associtated noises, she's go into fits of laughter. It never got old for her or us :) After we opened our presents, Kathy, Mike and Dan came over so we could open those we had for each other. You'll see a walking toy that both the girls are playing with from Kathy and Mike and a VERY LOUD tractor and dump truck they gave Alex that dad is playing with.

Unfortunatly Joe seems to have done something to his back and he thinks he might have a muscle in spasm (yuck).

PS: Sarah has a tooth!
