Christmas Morning

Right before opening presents.....
During....

15 minutes later... (wow always over so quickly!)

The kids actually slept in a little and we started opening gifts at about 8 oclock. It is so fun seeing the excitement in their eyes as they come running down the stairs. They must of all been really good this year they got lots of fun stuff. For the family Santa left a big play house for the back yard and Kinect for X box. We love this time of year and enjoy spending time with family, doing fun traditions and remembering Christ birth. We have had such a wonderful year and feel so blessed!

Visiting Santa in Big Bear

Every year at Christmas time it has become a tradition to be at Big Bear. The kids were so excited to be able to not only see Santa but Mrs Claus too. We have a fun day walking around the village and seeing all the beautiful Christmas decor.

Its Raining, Its Pouring!...

But this little girl sure doesnt mind! If you know my kids you know they love the water...so they are all in heaven right now!

A visit with Santa

Here's all the kids enjoying a visit with Santa at our church Christmas party. They all loved him, especially....

This little guy! He could not take his eyes off of him. It was so cute! Here is Santa pointing at the camera trying to get him to look at us!

Ahh finally we got him to look our way!

Deck the halls...

This week the kids and I have been having fun decorating the house for Christmas. As the kids get older it is so fun to see them get so excited about this time of year!

Thanksgiving 2010

This year for Thanksgiving we had it at my Uncle Jeff and Aunt Pegs house. We enjoyed a yummy feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, grams cranberry jello, corn pudding, apple walnut salad, rolls and homemade pies. I love how even though my grandma is 90 years old she is right there in the kitchen preparing alot of the food. She is such an inspiration to me. We all had a wonderful evening eating and hanging out together.
