Dallas LOVES anything silky or soft. He will immediately put his face on it and suck his thumb. He is definitely a Robison- tactile. My new Christmas Eve P.J.'s are silky and he loves them.

The girls. We may need to work on our modeling poses . . . kinda strange!
Dallas's FIRST Christmas Eve!
O.K. it is a long story, but we made sugar cookies and somehow Scott ended up sitting on a Christmas tree one! It made a perfect mark on his jeans and sweatshirt! We laughed and laughed!
The girls and I making sugar cookies that afternoon!
They each got to roll out and cut their own cookies!
The stockings were hung by the Chimney with care . . .

We had the BEST Christmas and Christmas Eve!!!! This was our first Christmas all on our own! And I have to say, " I LOVED it!" Nothing against our families, it was just nice to stay home and do our own thing. We have 4 kids, 3 of them are grown-up enough to know what Christmas is all about, we don't really have any of our own traditions because every year we go over to our parent's houses. We got to plan all our own food and activities together as a family. And we just relaxed together and didn't go anywhere.
Scotty worked a half day on Christmas Eve, so that morning the kids and I cleaned our whole house! Then when Scott got home we all cooked and baked in the kitchen. The girls and I made sugar cookies, now I normally don't like making sugar cookies---they are messy and take a ton of time and I am not really that good at it---- but that is what the girls wanted to make. I gave them each a 1/3 of the dough and let them roll it out and cut out all their own cookies. It was a blast for them! Like eatable play dough! Then we decorated them. Scott made his famous chex-mix and we were set! We had a yummy dinner of lasagna, bread and salad. Then we opened our Christmas Eve gifts--of pajama's and then we snuggled up and read the Christmas Story, sang hymns, and watched Luke 2. After that we had hot chocolate and sugar cookies and watched a movie called, "The Ultimate Gift." Then we put everyone to bed and waited for Santa to come . . . Santa had to have a Pepsi and a Mt. Dew, but "He" got it done and it was so much fun! :)

Yea sugar cookies! Tell Scott he needs to help out more, not decorate his pants with them. ;) Looks like Dallas knows what his bottles need to be filled with!
What a great Christmas!!! I am jealous that you got to stay home. I am wishing that we can do that someday.
I can't believe how grown up Whitney looks with her bangs. So cute! :)
