Our Christmas 2008....

It was a nice Christmas, considering we all had a very nasty stomach flu. All were well by Christmas Eve, except Molly who still struggles to keep anything down. The Dr says it'll need to run it's course and has hit her harder for her age and size. My poor baby. But she seems better every day. Here's some of our Christmas...

Most of the Fam stopped by Christmas eve to exchange gifts and enjoy a few drinks and treats....

Then Santa came and I took a picture of the tree in the night after he left....

Christmas morning came (at 4:30 am for Frankie) and we eventually (at about 6:30 am) started to enjoy the wonderful things Santa brought us...

Just when we thought it was over, as we began ripping toys from their boxes and fighting the wires that threaten our sanity to get a small plastic pony toy from a cardboard form... someone noticed Santa had made a special stop in our basement...

Mary and Frankie in their astonishment as they lay their eyes on Santa's big surprise...

The Nintendo Wii

and another couple presents for each of them....

Frankie was happy to say the least...

Mary enjoys it as well.

Molly is content with her Little People House. Not interested in Wii. At least one of us isn't fighting for their turn on the Guitar Hero. The oath Mary Claire and Frankie took to "on my honor , never fight over the Wii" lasted about 2 hours.

So even with the stomach flu, Christmas still came for little "Molly Lou Who"
