Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!! We are having a great day. We spent the morning relaxing and opening our gifts. The boys got pretty much everything on their list to Santa! We will spend the rest of the day playing with our new games and eating! We plan on visiting our friends Stacy, Eric, Logan and Lain for dinner, can't wait!! Photos will be updated regularly here.

Christmas Eve = Gingerbread houses!!

We had a great Christmas Eve! We spent the day cooking unique appetizers to share with friends and making our gingerbread houses. This is the first year we made them totally from scratch. so hopefully they'll taste better than in the past. The boys had a great time. Mike, Melissa, Audrianna and Melissa's sister Jennifer came over to celebrate as well. We hope to share a great day tomorrow!! Hopefully Santa will leave presents under the tree and fill our stockings! More pictures to come!!

All Jake wants for Christmas are his four front teeth

Well, merry Christmas to Jake! He had his four front teeth pulled on Friday. His adult teeth were coming in behind his baby teeth, so they had to be pulled to make room. He is excited to finally be losing teeth, it's just too bad they had to be pulled. He was a trooper and did very well. At least we got the Christmas photo done before the drastic change!

Here you go Amy...

...Just kidding, you know I love you. Amy, Micah and Nicu came up for Thanksgiving this year. It was SO NICE to have them here. Since my camera was broken I wasn't able to take any photos, so I stole some from Amy, which I posted here. We're all dopes though since we managed to not take any photos on Thanksgiving day (we had an AWESOME meal). We also managed to not take any photos of all of us together, D'oh. I guess they'll have to come up next near so we can make things right :) Anyhow, we had a great time. The dogs reeked havoc and we had a nice time just relaxing, eating, drinking and watching football all weekend, just the way it should be! Nicu is pretty much summing up our Holiday nicely in this photo.

A blast from the past

Well, I dropped my camera on the concrete on Halloween, so it's been out of commission until earlier this week. I figured late was better than never as far as updates and photos go. This is Jake and Jared on Halloween. Jake was the dark Spider man and Jared was Optimus Prime. They had a great time trick or treating with Audrianna this year. You can see more photos here.

It's begining to look a little like Christmas

Well, we are starting to prepare for Christmas here in the Alexandrian household. Most of the decorations have been hung and the tree is almost finished (photos to come soon). I was able to round up the kids and dog for a photo in front of the fireplace which will go on our Christmas cards. Too bad the cat wasn't able to join us, she doesn't like Winston much. I was able to find a really good deal on Christmas photo cards at Walmart.com, if anyone is interested. I have also created a new "Christmas 2007" folder on our Flickr account, so check it often for new photos. We hope everyone is having a great Holiday so far!!
