Christmas 2010

This year we stayed home for Christmas :) The kids were so excited to wake up and see what Santa had brought them! There is nothing better than kids on Christmas morning. They were all very satisfied with all of their presents! We had a Very Merry Christmas :)

Tanlie got a new desk, just what she wanted. She also got a calender for her "class room" and a bunch of other stuff for her desk (she loves to play school)! And of course a pillow pet :)

The only thing Brylie would tell us she wanted for Christmas was a pillow pet. So she got her pillow pet, and a new doll house. She also got a fur real dog that walks and barks and a bunch of other stuff.

Brogan got the horse stalls he wanted along with some more corrals. He also got real tools and a bunch of kits with projects that you can build. Santa also brought him buzz light year and some buffalo chaps just like dads.
The kids were entertained for days with all of their new toys :)

Brogan playing with his animals, building a project with dad, playing the U-draw on the Wii, and dad teaching him how to shoot his bow and arrow.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas eve we met Casey and Laura's family and went sledding and had lunch together. Then we went home and the kids opened their Christmas Eve presents. They got pj's and games. The kids played their new games and then we headed over to our friends Dusty and Diane's for yummy prime rib dinner :) The kids were excited to get home and get to bed so Santa could come. They decorated some cookies for Santa and sprinkled magic reindeer food outside for the reindeer ;)

Grandma's Christmas Party

We enjoyed another one of my mom's Christmas parties this year. Brandon was in Colorado and wasn't able to make it this year. The kids had fun playing with their cousins, visiting with Santa and opening presents :)

Our wonderful hosts....

12 days of Christmas

My mom did the 12 day's of Christmas for our family this year. Instead of just presents she tried to do things that we had to do as a family every night. My kids loved it and looked forward to opening a new present everyday :) We got to make cookies, decorate a gingerbread house, have a movie night with Carmel popcorn, decorate mugs for hot chocolate and eat yummy cinnamon rolls, play games, read books and lots more. It is definitely something my kids will always remember. Thanks mom your the best!!
