christmas in kansas city.

FYI...this post is mostly going to involve pictures (probably of my darling nephews). christmas was a lot of fun...working the actual day wasn't bad at all and was actually kind of fun getting to spend it with 5 different patients and their families and then getting home at 1am on the 26th to spend it with my family. it snowed an unbelievable amount for kansas city, so we definitely had a white christmas...and a lot of staying inside. besides celebrating christmas, i did do a little shopping, went to the plaza to see the lights, played with my nephews and sophie, saw invictus and sherlock holmes (both of which i would recommend), baked and cooked...a lot (by choice), celebrated my birthday, and saw some old friends.

eli and taters christmas eve (sorry mard, i stole some pictures)

eli christmas morning...a little confused by the 2nd christmas morning since we celebrated twice so this picture is from the first.

tate in the stocking i made for cj a few years back. i had a picture of eli like this so i had to have one of taters, too.

sophie in her cupcake sweater from shelly. you can tell she loves it.

this is too precious. eli sat the little cookie monster and big bird in their chairs and then pulled up his little chair to sit next to them and watch 'toons as he calls them.

tate in his christmas pj's...i'm not sure why i can't get it to turn.

the soccer set i got eli for christmas....good thing it is warm in dallas almost all year.

tate trying to sit up.

eli loves to help...i mean help do ANYTHING. including chores and building fires. i love this child.

"it hurts to be this handsome"cj and eli building a snowman (or noman as eli says) the face was added a few minutes later.
