Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas here in Michigan. We got our german shepard puppy the saturday before Christmas so she was our early christmas present. She finally has a name too! her name is Schatzi(pronounced "shot-zi") which means little treasure in German. We pretty much have her house broken already and she knows how to sit and stay. Pretty good for a 11 week old puppy! Trenton doesn't care much for her right now. he only cares if she is into his toys or jumps on him. then he yells "no" or tells the puppy to "shhhh!"
Trenton had fun opening all his presents. I think he was a bit overwhelmed at first since there were so many and he didn't know why he couldn't play with the toys after he opened them instead of opening another one.
Here is a picture of our tree(yes its real). and a few pics of Trenton on the night before christmas!







This year was different because instead of reading the Christmas story out of the Bible on christmas, we read the christmas story of Baby Jesus out of Trenton's "my first bible" so that there were pictures and the story was made simple. Here is Barak reading the christmas story.

Present Time for Trenton! Barak and I didn't do gifts for each other since the Dog was our gift. We just did stocking stuffers for us.






Oops! barak pushed him too hard in the sled!


Trenton LOVES flashlights! so we got him his own!!



Barak and TJ wearing matching Knit hats I made them. couldn't get a "normal" picture whre they were both looking at me.


He loves his squishy ball and Hotwheels cars from Uncle derek!








About 1:00 Christmas day we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Baraks family was all there and also his aunts and uncles and cousins. we all had a big dinner then did gifts with each other.

i think the funniest picture is the one with the gate around it!!! good idea!the one with t.j. falling in the sled is pretty funny too-doesn't seem to bother t.j.- in fact it looks like he's laughing. just tell barak not to sled down icey hills with t.j. like dad did with emily years ago-she has the scar on her forehead to prove it!!!!!!! love the pic. with jenny and bethany kissing t.j. - he seems to enjoy two pretty girls loving him up!!!!! wait to grandma gets ahold of him when we come up!!!!

Emily....the little girl is Barak's cousins daugher. she is 10 mo. older than Trenton.

and you were always the one to get hurt and get black eyes, because you were the first kid and parent's make all the mistakes with the first one. haha
