Winee's: (Wino Grandkids Unite)

With so many people, and so much excitement...it was impossible to get any pictures from this night. Marianna had so much fun playing with the "winee's" (aka: future winos...) at the Hatcher house.

Family Time

We were so happy that Jill and the kids were able to make it in to celebrate Christmas day. From the minute we arrived at my parents house, Marianna was shaking with excitement to see and play with her cousins!


Santa brought Shannon this really cute dog that followed commands...Marianna loved it!

One of Marianna's favorite gifts....the City Ramp Racing Set!

Mardi Gras Marianna...

When she sits at her desk and plays on her computer...we think she really thinks she is playing on the computer...very focused!

Christmas Day 2008

Our day started with some outdoor snow time since it was finally "warm" enough to go outside!
Marianna was a little freaked out about how deep the snow the snow was at first, but then soon came to love just standing there because it was too deep to walk in...




Here we are getting ready for Church...

After Church, DJ carving the leg of lamb (YUM!!) and finally a picture of us as a family :)

Even Marianna got to eat off the good china...

The Christmas tree prepared with all Marianna's gifts!!

First sight at what Santa brought...

We put money on it....straight to the Duck!!

I think her favorite gift were the beads from Party City and the Cinderella and Ariel tin purses!

There will be a lot of bouncing on the duck...

Marianna was an expert gift opener! I couldn't believe how she tore everything open so fast...

Yeah...Abby Caddaby...Marianna's favorite!

I was helping to unwrap the Penguin Race game...apparently I couldn't do it fast enough.

A potty! She knew right what to do...grab a book!

Here is the response to "Who wants to go Poo-Poo in the Potty?" .... ME!

My parents got her this princess desk...she LOVES it!

The duck was perfect to cuddle up with and watch Elmo!

Some pictures from Christmas Day at Nick and Michele's...

Marianna and the boys..

Thea Stephanie got Marianna her #1 Christmas gift wish list item....ELMO LIVE!

Next Day...enjoying it all!
