Merry Christmas, 2008!

Merry Christmas from the Beasley family! Here are some pictures from our holiday celebration. These were taken over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and this morning (Dec. 26th). Enjoy!!!

This is a custom made rocking chair we got for Madeline (minus the rockers... Brian still needs to put those on!).

Bella liked the rocking chair, too!

Madeline opens her present from Elena (her babysitter's daughter).

"Baby!" (It was a baby cabbage patch doll.)

I prepared the potatoes and rolled them out; mom cooked the lefse.

Lefse!!!

Madeline opens one of her gifts from Papa and Gramma: it's a fridge phonics set.

Madeline got a set of duckies for bathtime fun!

It's a Dora loofah!

Back to our house for lefse- the table is set!

My place setting. :)

And now for the lefse!

Hunter's eyes were closed in every single picture I took...silly boy. ;)

Madeline eats her first lefse! (I am quite proud of this moment!!!)

Madeline provided the after-dinner entertainment. (She even sang "la-la-la-la into the microphone... no one showed her how, but I assume she picked it up from watching her mommy sing at church!)

Gramma reads to Madeline

Brian and I actually get a moment together...

Levi opened his stocking from us this morning (Dec. 26th) after spending Christmas with Dad and Kim, and he spends quality time with Madeline before heading right back out the door for PA!
