Christmas 2011

Stockings!

See if you can find Rachel's present in the tree

She found it! Cinderella--she has had two of these and lost them both. So I wasn't going to get a new one, but she kept asking about it, so I decided Santa could get her a new one. Since Christmas we have found the other two. So now we have three Cinderellas. You better believe I have two hidden in case of another loss :)

Hugs after opening their presents from each other

the moment was only cute for so long until it turned violent

Thanks for the book Great Gpa!

Thanks for the dress up Gma Jean!

Santa brought Adam pvc pipe...yes, that is what he wanted thank you very much :)

But nothing is as good as bubble wrap!

This present was SUPPOSED to be from Santa...but the kids did a little snooping on Santa's workshop and caught the "elves" building. I asked Adam what he saw. "Daddy and Gpa are building!" What are they building? "A square!

I don't think it matters who it is from...

They love it just the same

 I was nervous because Adam kept saying, "It's not Christmas time yet. When it's Christmas, there will be snow, and Santa will come down the chimney." Yikes. I didn't think I'd have to deal with such obstacles so early on. 1. Adam doesn't know we live in 60 degrees on Christmas Las Vegas and 2. We don't have a chimney. Cue, awesome grandparents to the rescue! We spent the night at a house with a chimney, and we visited great grandparents who live in the snowy mountains on Christmas day. Whew, crisis solved. Time for a snowball fight!
