Christmas

We had a fantastic Christmas this year. We went to the in laws house and spent a week and a half relaxing, playing in the snow, and just enjoying being with family and friends. We left on the 23rd and I am so glad we left as early as we did because we had snow pretty much from the NY/PA boarder all the way to his parents home. And we left early Sunday morning because of the snow that was still falling and its a good thing because it was slow and go for a while but I'm glad to be home, now its time to get ready for this baby to join our family!!!

Christmas Eve the kids helped grandma make the gingerbread house. They had so much fun frosting the roof and adding all the goodies to the outside.

I think he was just happy to be playing in so much candy LOL.

The final product!! They did a fantastic job and it tasted just as yummy when we finally broke it apart to munch on.

Later that night we were all getting ready for bed and let the kids open their one present which was new pj's. But Tanner wanted a picture before we started. he is such a funny boy.

Opening their presents

Tanner is so in to Toy Story, and Makena loves monkeys so they were so excited!!

My beautiful children!!!

After the kids went to bed "Santa" came to visit. The kids got spoiled like every Christmas, Makena has been asking for a doll house for a while and we were able to find this cute one off of craigslist and she has had so much fun with it!!

Tanner has been asking for Buzz and Woody, he has really taken to Toy Story this year and I'm sure we will be taking him to see Toy Story 3 when it comes out this summer. He has even slept with woody and buzz, not sure how comfortable it was but he has been one happy camper.

The kids didn't get up till 7:30!!! I was so happy that they were not up earlier then that. Here they are walking in to the family room to see what Santa left.

Checking out their goods!!

He is one happy camper.

Opening their other presents

Grandma was so excited to get a new paper cutter which I'm sure will get used often for seminary. LOL

Uncle Adam and Grandma opening some of their presents

Tanner showing off his new towel, he is a monster, and Makena's is a butterfly. They are so cute and I am going to keep my eyes open for one for the new baby, plus they are super soft.

I have no idea why she has this face on her, maybe it was the fact that i would not let her open up her brothers pop up tent. But her outfit is soo cute!!!

Not sure if these next few pictures were taken later in the afternoon on Christmas day or another day, But Tanner was looking so cute sitting up on the top bunk of his uncles bed watching the boys play on the PS3.

I will be posting more from our vacation in the next few days. I have a fun sledding post, new years eve party we went to and just some random pictures that was taken while we were there.
