Christmas 2011

Shortly before Christmas, Dee arrived to help ensure the children were adequately spoiled for Christmas.
Yes, she did her job well.
We started the festivities with our annual Mexican Christmas eve dinner, along with Uncle Gary.






After dinner, we headed out to enjoy some of the lights in the neighborhood.

Then Dee got a little spoiling of her own.


And after selecting the perfect sugar cookies and carrots to set out for Santa and his reindeer,

It was time to say goodnight!

As always, Christmas morning came early.  
Luckily, the kids got Grammy Dee up before us, so that bought Craig and I a few extra precious moments to sleep.
And then the frantic unwrapping began.






Apparently, everyone was VERY good this year!
I'm guessing there was a bit of misinformation communicated to the the North Pole!  Because I'm pretty sure there should have been SOME coal given out somewhere!



 
As always, it was a fun morning with lots of great surprises.
And once again, we realize just how blessed we are.
The only way it could have been better is to have Trent here with us.
After opening all our gifts, everyone settled in for a relaxing day of doing absolutely 
NOTHING!


Yep, it was a good day.
