The Quittner's: 2008

Rock Band Anyone?

Anyone up for some fun times?

Come and play Rock Band!!
This is one of the favorite gifts from Christmas!!
I completely suck at it, but I can make everyone who
plays with me laugh!! Dave will only play when no one else is around,
Cody loves to sing! Lin is awesome
at the drums or guitar, and Sarah, she just rocks!!
Karlie's not to bad either.

You go girl!!

Go Karlie!!

Sarah belting out Eye of the Tiger

After playing for a bit, poor Lin had to have
her arm massaged! She cracks me up!!

Merry Christmas!!

I love Christmas morning! The groggy, just climbing out of bed, in

last night's new p.j.'s pictures! I love watching my kids open their
gifts, loving what they got from Santa!! It is so much fun!!
After we open gifts at home, we head to my mom and dad's for
the BEST breakfast ever!! There is everything you could think
of to eat! A tradition my grandparents started, and my parents
dutifully make it each year! I think if you were to ask any of
my siblings what their favorite part of Christmas is, they would all
say Christmas Breakfast!!
After visiting with my family, we went to Dave's sister's house and
had Christmas dinner. I feel like all I did was eat that day!! It was a great
day! I love being together with all of the family, and miss those of you
that are not able to be with us.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

They got lots of Ben 10 stuff!

Ethan so excited, he got another ELIE!

One of the favorite gifts this year, Rock Band!

Cody's gift to Dave and I, he made it at school.
I love these gifts!

Opening his 12th day of Christmas!
He loved getting the 12 days! It was so
much fun! He got a blue-ray DVD player.

He is dancing to the music of the train

My new heart rate monitor!!!! I am so excited!

I love the bow!

Chad and Melis opened their gift, and they got
a surprise! The famous hippo's!

My cute grandpa!

The poor kids! Christmas can be so tiring.
A great way to end the day, Christmas was
so much fun!! I hope everyone had an
enjoyable holiday!

Love Chocolate?

How can anyone not love CHOCOLATE?

We all know that I love chocolate! And Jaxson,

well these pictures say it all!!
Meggan brought us some yummy chocolate
balls that were to die for!! Seriously!!

LeeMaster Christmas Party

Every year we have a Christmas party with my side of the family!

It is such a fun party, we all look forward to it. There is always
tons of yummy food to eat, and LOTS of fabulous treats!! (yet again,
there goes my eating good!) The jolly old elf always makes an
appearance, and we have a white elephant gift exchange for
all of the adults. This year when my dad sent out the invitations
he was wondering what people would want Santa to bring. As
a joke he said how bout a man for Lin and Sarah? They laughed
and thought that was that, but leave it to my dad to find a way
to get them a man!! So with the help of Mike and I, this is what
Santa brought for the two of them!!

I think they new something was up!

It was hilarious!!

Waiting patiently for their turn on Santa's lap.

My brother, Chad, and Esi.

Cute little Jaxson, he loves to cuddle. Another
thing he loves to do is BITE!! Just after this
photo he snuggled into Dave's chest, and
took a bite right on his nipple...

...He is so proud of himself! Dave was in pain.

The white elephant gifts are so funny. Everyone
tries to get the worst thing ever! This is a fish lamp,
my boys sooo badly wanted this!!

My fabulous sister's, love you all!
Sure miss you two who are not here!!

Cody singing

Cody loves to sing!! He really loves Christmas songs, his favorite is I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. But, any song he will just belt out the words, even if he doesn't quite know all of the words. For example, Jingle Bells: Dashing through the snow in a one whore open sleigh, and Eye of the Tiger, to him it is I love the Tiger! The green and leafy tree, is the green and leapy tree. He cracks me up, and the funny thing is I can tell him over and over the correct words, but he doesn't care, he likes his version better.
When he found out he was singing at school, he couldn't wait! He was so excited to sing for me. When he saw me he started to wave dramatically (as all kindergartener's do) telling all of his friends that we were there. After they were done singing, he said "do you know why no one else was waving?" No, why? "Because our teachers told us not to wave, but I couldn't help it!" He is so cute!

Gingerbread Houses

We had a Christmas party with the Quittner's, and this year we made

Gingerbread Houses! The boys have never made them before
and were so excited! We had lots of fun, they filled it with
Ethan's favorite thing in life, CANDY!! We had lots of
yummy food and treats, (so much for eating good!!) and fun!
Every one got to open a present. It was a great party, thanks Cathy and Paul!
