Christmas 2011

We've enjoyed a blessed Christmas with our family.  My parents flew in from Idaho and John's parents drove in from Oklahoma (and my sister made the 20 miles trek too!). 

We kept with our tradition of Christmas Eve dinner at Kelly's house.

Colin is bewildered...not sure why
The "new pajamas" tradition continues.  Remember this?

We then hosted the bunch at our house for Christmas morning (which we pretended was Monday...don't tell our children).

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.  Look at Seth's stocking (third from the left).  That thing is loaded!

Reading "The Night Before Christmas"

Reading Luke Chapter two...and quizzing the boys on their nativity facts.

My parents brought these hats back from their trip to Turkey and Santa put fake mustaches in Colin's stocking.  Hilarious!

Seth asked for "Car Controls" aka a Remote Control Car (among other things).  He must have been very good because he got two of them!

Colin wanted a "Big Boy Bike"


We did not get a puppy!  Molly belongs to John's parents. 
My parents are still in town so we're enjoying some extended Grandparent time.  We pray your Christmas was filled with blessings and that this new year brings many more.
