Christmas part 3 (final installment)

Here in the Netherlands the 26th is "2nd Christmas" and that is exactly was it was like here in our household.  We hung out in Christmas PJ's all day and played, played, played and then celebrated Jesus' birthday (we had planned to do that on the 25th but honestly we ran out of time).  We had a great day!  The kids were loving the new kitchen...do you see Isabella peeking out of the window?  

Hopefully, this will be a toy that the kiddos love for a long time!

Some PJ pictures...do you know how hard it is to get them all to look at the camera...all I can say is 3 kids, 3 and under! :)

2 out of the 3 looking!

All gifts we unwrapped on the 25th but we didn't really open some of them until the next day.

Ava is always in the action.

Some floor time with Isaac and Isabella.

Time for birthday cupcakes.  Isaac helped me with the frosting and decorating his cupcake with sprinkles.

The girls were digging the cupcakes...see Isabella going face first?

Yumminess!!

Well, we hope you are having a wonderful New Years's eve day!  We are going into the evening here and just had some yummy Mexican food....yes, it seems to be our food of choice right now...we are both loving mango salsa and had some on Christmas eve and we made another batch tonight. :)  The girls just went to bed and Isaac will soon follow.  We have some wine and a good movie ready for us tonight. :) We might see what fireworks they have outside when it turns midnight...they are really into fireworks on New Years' here...we have been hearing them all day!

Check back for the Shafer top 10....the highlights of this last year and a few catch up items like our New York trip and the girls turning 18 months old...I really haven't forgotten!  Isabella also took some more steps today...maybe we will have a walker or 2 in early 2012! :)  I also fixed the video in the last post so you should be able to watch it now.
