Christmas at the Pearsons

Our annual Christmas Eve party, complete with Mexican food and pinata. (Don't ask me to explain it, I just do what I'm told)

Colton gets a boom box from Santa.

Heyden gets a bike from Santa. Grandpa Randy asked her why it wasn't pink, and she said, "Grandpa, that's soooo two years ago!"

Tucker with the video camera from Santa. Better start locking the bathroom door when you take a shower at the Pearson home...

Heyden the soccer star!

Tucker and his crazy ideas...

Please, please, please can we get up on the roof with you, Dad?

Papa and Nana came to visit in early December.

Nana and the poseurs...
Remind the photographer about mirrors and flash photography.

Of course we had to open all the Christmas presents from Papa and Nana before they left. Of course, there were so many that we had to open them to make room for everyone else's presents under the tree!

Santa brings the Pearsons into the 21st century.

Heyden the angel... she's the one with the green hair.

Tucker says, "Get off my lawn, you rotten whippersnappers!"

Rogue's gallery. I wonder what they will dress up like for Halloween?

Soccer is a serious business. Quit goofing off, Joshias!

Hiking over fall break. Heyden fell off a cliff today. Maybe she's still got some tomboy in her!

This rodent was being properly disposed of by our dogs. But my ridiculous family rescued it. Poor dogs! Unfortunately, we don't have a picture of two little bunny legs sticking out of Strider's mouth. But I think that image is burned into Bridgette's brain. Everyone here called it Bun-Bun... except the dogs and I, who referred to it as Snack. Somehow it pulled through, and they released it back into the wild (or the Circle of Life, as I like to call it). Now they think they can save anything!

Heyden (as if you couldn't tell).

Tucker, Timothy, Andrew, Heyden, Natalie and Colton.
