Christmas 2008

Please forgive me. I know this is overdue. We had a wonderful Christmas. On Christmas Eve we made cookies for Santa. Isobel sneaked part of a snowflake cookie. She's got quick hands. 

We had a full house with Grandpa Bob (he made from Mexico to spend Christmas Eve with us which was the best gift he could ever give), Grandma, Nana, Grandpa Jim, Aunt Tracy, Uncle Wayne, Aunt Pam and Uncle John. Isobel got loads of presents. Aunt Tracy read Twas the Night Before Christmas to everyone before the kids went to bed. Logan kissed Isobel. But the best part was being able to spend so much time together as a family. 

On 
Christmas morning Santa left evidence that he was here. He left snowy footprints from the fireplace (fyi - North Pole snow is special and doesn't melt, even in the Florida heat, it just turns into a powder) and he left Isobel a thank you note for the cookies. Maddy had to check out those footprints and see what they were all about. 
Also on Christmas Day Grandpa Bob ran into Santa at the airport (he was on his flight back to Mexico - meeting Mrs. Claus for a much needed vacation) and he called and wished Isobel a Merry Christmas. It was very special. 

Later in the day we went to Nana and Grandpa Jim's house where Santa had left even more presents for Isobel. Although by this picture of Tim you would think Santa came just for him. We had a great time and a wonderful dinner. 

On Friday we took our Christmas money and went to the zoo. And then on Saturday Grandma took Isobel to the park. You can see she's not too sure about getting her hands dirty. It was a perfect holiday!!!
