Christmas

Christmas 2011

Don't you just love my tree by the fireplace with the stockings hung above it? I do! It was so cozy looking I just had to take a picture. This Christmas was wonderful! We were so lucky to be so blessed this year and Christmas was simply the cherry on top! Here is a photo re-cap of our Christmas....

About a week before we had a get together with my Dad and Magdalena at my house. It was nice, especially for my Dad who might not be with us much longer.

The Tues. before we had our annual pre-school Christmas party. It was a ton of fun! I just love all these kids and their wonderful mothers! (and one grandmother)

Benji got a Buzz from Mom & Dad

Abby got a Minnie Shopping cart from Mom & Dad

Lindy was super excited when she opened her Minnie Mouse plush form her Daddy! Santa also got her an awesome gift, but I forgot to take a picture

It lights up and makes sounds, he LOVED it!

Isabel fell asleep

Then we all went to church. Here they are in the Christmas Sunday Best!

After church, the girls played Tea Party

And the girls pushed their Minnie's all around the house!

And we took a picture of Mom and Gary with my Mom's 5 Grandkids!

Below are some video of the Kids opening gifts on Christmas morning. There are a few more of Abby because her reaction was just so funny! Enjoy! Merry Christmas!
