Christmas 2010

Tis the season. We were busy doing all our activities and making memories! It was a wonderful holiday season.

Noah was an angel at the church nativity. He didn't want to do it because "angels are girls" but once I explained that the angel that visited Mary was a boy, he was OK with it!

Grace was so excited to see Santa! It was so cute. I said go ahead and get in line but she was insistent that I come. She wanted a "cat groomer" she saw at Target and told everyone that is what she wanted. Well I went back the day after she saw it but it was gone! Thank goodness for Santa, he checked again after he had talked to her!!! She was sooo happy Christmas morning!
Noah wanted a Stampeed Nerf gun!!! Told everyone that is what he was getting, but I burst his bubble because I told him "NO WAY" (this gun is huge and I'm not having it take up space) I told him that Santa consults the parents as to not give anything that they don't want! Don't feel sorry for him he got his first BB gun and loves to shoot with his dad! Everyone is happy!!!
Here we are...a true redneck family!!! My husband waiting till after Thanksgiving to put up the lights. I actually think it was the second week of December! Notice the snow on the roof!!! SMART!!!
First he had to push all the snow off then he had to lay down because it was so slippery! Almost fell off once! Almost had one huge heart attack!!
We don't have any big hills on our property but the kids love to sled! It is actually ridiculous... they take the sled...run and slide on the ice of our driveway which has the slightest incline and I just laugh!
Notice Grace is hardly moving!!!
Noah faster!!!
The arrival or the Wii. Looks like Grace isn't quite sure what Noah is so excited about!
Brent is always a little nervous about what I will get him. (because I usually get him what he needs not wants) But this year he was totally surprised and he loved it!!! Good job me!
Year of barbies for Grace and of course the huge kitchen. She was so excited for Christmas this year!
Noah got Legos and a lot of them. The army ones were hard to put together. Brent took most of the morning getting them done! Noticed I said Brent not Noah!!!!
Boxing day playing the Wii! Very intense!!!
Wii!!! This is right before I started to play and hit Noah in the back of the head with the remote! And before you think I'm abusive let me explain! I was bowling, he was sitting on the floor in front of me, I was playing Brent! It was intense! I swung my arm back and as I was about to release, SMACK!!! It was so loud, he went down, I thought I broke the remote...there was a lot of crying. I did it one other time during the Christmas holiday and Noah has now learned to sit far away from me when I play.
Wanted to take picture in pjs to show Nanny!!
Kids decorated the tree this year with their dad while I was out one night. Think they did a pretty good job but most of the ornaments are around the bottom, plus all the handmade ones that I usually put on a little tree in their room, were right in front. And for once, I didn't try to fix it. Yay for me!!! It was tough!!!
