Merry Pawamas!

We celebrated Pawamas yesterday, as we do every December 21st. What the heck is Pawamas you ask? It's our Patterson Wammes Christmas! When Ron and I first met, I suckered him into opening one Christmas present on December 21st. You see, I get VERY excited about Christmas and I just can't wait...the suspense just about kills me! He reluctantly agreed - thinking it was only going to happen that first year. Nope, it's been going on every year since 2001 and guess what? Ron loves it now! :)

She was being so careful at first. She didn't want to rip 'Frosty'

Then she caught a glimpse of Mickey Mouse and she couldn't open it fast enough.

WOW! A Mickey Mouse Clubhouse play doh set!

Oops - forgot one little piece of wrapping paper

Rachel helped Natalie open her present, too!

Wow - more Mickey Mouse Clubhouse stuff - this time it's Lego

Getting a better view of what's inside. Natalie was more concerned with the stray piece of wrapping paper.

Happy girl

Rachel decided she should help Daddy open his present as well. This one was wrapped with very special wrapping paper. Rachel had designed it.

There are no pictures of Mommy opening her gift (iPod accessories) because I'm the one who always has the camera. It's very rare that I'm in pictures but I must remember to change that for 2009!

Happy to be playing with the Play Doh

I think Ron is happy that Rachel loves play doh as much as he does :)
