Alexa helped Mommy make pumpkin pies last night before bedtime! She loved cracking the eggs!

She's so proud of the pies. They are ready to go in the oven.

Gavin got Frosty the Snowman for Christmas!

Santa brought Alexa this Elmo shirt.

12/25/2009 Merry Christmas!

Santa came to the Briggs house!



Alexa was so excited to find out that Santa and the reindeer ate the carrots we left.



This was Alexa and Gavin's favorite toy.

Another talking Elmo! Santa really knows what Alexa likes!

More big-girl underwear


A new water bottle for Alexa's new backpack

She loves candy canes!

Messy candy cane smile

Alexa's helping Daddy open his stocking.


Santa brought Mommy new sewing gadgets.

Alexa dumped out Gabbi's stocking and while Mommy was taking a picture, Gavin grabbed a doggie treat! Oops!

Look what Gavin made us for Christmas!

Alexa made us a beautiful calendar at daycare. We'll cherish it all year long!






Gavin fell asleep by 11am! Too much excitement

I got our Christmas stockings finished just in the "nick" of time! Actually, they aren't completely done because I still need to stitch our names on the cuffs. I need to learn how to do that first! Luckily my mom is coming out to visit next month and she's going to teach me. It's a good thing our pictures are on the stocking holders. At least Santa will know who the stockings belong to! Gabbi's paw stocking is on the far left. I didn't make that one.


Alexa wanted to leave Santa and the reindeer a little snack of carrots. She nibbled on some, too. This picture was taken after Christmas Eve mass.


Alexa is so tired after the Christmas Eve mass. Before we put her to bed, we helped her get a snack ready for Santa. She wants Santa to bring her a backpack and candy canes! I hope Christmas shopping will always be that easy!
