the holidays (part 2)

Christmas was a huge success in the Bratcher household again this year!! We had a great time with the kiddos on Christmas Eve. Leah and Lex usually get one gift each from Mommy and one from Daddy and one from each other. Here are some shots of Daddy's great ideas this year...

Leah with her BARBIE comics!!
I bet she said a hundred times that she wanted Barbie comics for Christmas.
THANK YOU EBAY!!

Lex with his Superman for President t-shirt!!

And Santa was very kind Christmas morning...

Leah and her Barbie bike that Santa brought (along with a sleeping bag, beauty shop chair and a chalkboard).

Lex in his wagon that Santa brought (along with a little people school bus and some Sandra Boyton books)!!

And the whole "Kentucky Line" crew (at mom and dad's house)...

the holidays (part 1)

The first week of our Christmas break was pretty busy with Christmas programs, eating and visiting with some of our family and friends (although we enjoyed it thoroughly)!!

Leah had her children's chior performance at church.

We spent some time with two of my high school besties!! Christi Beth brought her dog (who's cage Lex absolutely LOVED) and Faith brought her 1 year old. (We're getting old!)

We visited Doug's Nanny & Granddaddy as well as his mom, sister and brother (in Richmond).

And we played Guesstures, The Newlywed Game and (the infamous) UGLY UNO with some of our beloved "Etown" friends (we missed you Eric).
