Christmas eve jammies...
Grace wanted to give Santa the snow globe she got at some restaurant, so she wrote him a note. It says "Dear Santa, I want you to have my snow globe. Love, Grace". They teach them to spell words phonetically at school. She is doing a pretty good job!!
Santa brought us a Wii!! Grace woke up at 4am, we made her go back to sleep with us, but when it was finally time to go open presents she came running back into our room yelling, "Santa brought us a Wii!!" I'm kind of sad that she (and Elliot) even know what a Wii is, but they have played it at their friends house. It is actually really fun, we spent a lot of time playing on it Christmas day. I like it because you can play most games up to 4 people at a time, so we can all play together and the kids are up and moving around when they play it. Elliot is eerily good at golf...
One of Grace's presents, butterflies she can decorate and hang up in her room.
Maggie loved opening presents. She had a good time with this tissue paper. Thanks for the new clothes, Valerie, she loves them!!
Elliot loves the Kung Fu Panda!
The babies were a huge hit with Maggie. Every time she sees them she says, "Baby!", then she picks them up and gives them a hug and a kiss!
Thanks for the story book Jack!! Grace loves it!
Thanks for the Charlie Brown shirt Lilia! Elliot hasn't wanted to take it off for 2 days!! For those of you who don't know, Elliot LOVES all things Charlie Brown.
The Geo Trax were a big hit. Elliot loves it, and so do Grace and Maggie!
Grace bowling on the Wii.On a totally unrelated note, the baby is due on Jan. 11th (Sunday), but I have an appt. to be induced on the 9th (Friday). Grandma and grandpa are coming up on the 8th to help with the other kids. So, one way or another we will have a new baby here in 11 days, at the most. I highly doubt I will go into labor before then because I have never had a baby early, but I feel fine about being induced because my babies are always ginormous!! I have found myself wishing that she would just get here NOW, but I really do have a lot to do before she is born. I actually fell on our stairs outside last week. It hurt, but I was hoping it would put me into labor. Of course, I am not so lucky. All I got from it was a really bad backache and some contractions for a few days!! But seriously, now that Christmas is over, I can focus on getting ready for baby.
On another totally unrelated note, I have decided to change the privacy status of my blog. I figure it is a good step toward overcoming the unrealistic paranoia that can sometimes overtake me :). But I'm not totally overcoming it, I have taken our last name off of anything I could see (hence the blog name change). So, if any of you have my last name listed on your blog list, could you please just change it to "Becky and Ray" or whatever. Thanks everyone!! Have a great day!!

Cute jammies! I looked and looked but could not find any anywhere, of course... I did not start looking until Christmas Eve... so sad, I had images of the 4 of us in somewhat matching pajamas to send in our New Year cards I am planning to send out (we will see about that).
Glad Maggie likes tissue paper. I think it is fantastic, myself. Valerie has always loved clothes, so that is always what she likes to give.
As for new baby- how exciting! I am a little envious, but when I think about starting all over with a new baby, it makes me scared with all the sleeping fun I am having with Asher.
Good luck! I am glad you are having a midwife, that is THE WAY TO GO!!
I like the new blog name. I know what you mean about paranoia, we all have our issues. I'm probably a bit too trusting. My stepmom refuses to use her credit card online, but never blinks an eye giving it to a complete stranger in a restaurant when paying a bill.
Looks like you all had a great Christmas. Piper is supposed to be getting a Cabbage Patch doll from my sister who is arriving in a few hours. I am interested to see how she likes it. It's probably good that Maggie has one of her own so maybe she won't bother baby sister quite as much.
Looking forward to hearing baby news! Please keep us posted.
I quit writing too soon!
First, could you send me your primary email address? The only one I have is your msn address.
Second, we have a Wii but haven't used it much together. I do however LOVE the Wii Fit and have used it quite regularly. In fact, I was going to do an entire post on my blog about it. I don't see video games like the Wii as a bad thing because at least you can do them as a family and it gets kids moving around instead of sitting on their butts.
Becky, you're last name is in your url. You could write on your blog what you're changing it to and the date, then give everyone 2 or 3 weeks to check it out before you change it. Some day I will get a Wii. We got some money from Jason's grandma for Christmas and I told him we should hold onto it and save up for a Wii. I like the new background, and glad Elliot liked the shirt! :) We bought it in October or something, since mom told me I'd be choosing the names I decided one of my kids would have to have Elliot-and it was actually drawn that way.
I can't wait to see this new baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great pictures! I'm glad you took so many, made me feel almost like I was there (which I should have been)!
Becky, I'm so glad you guys had a great Christmas. I sure liked Spokane when we lived there, but I don't miss the snow!!!
ONE WEEK LEFT!!!!!!!
