Christmas 2011

We had a great Christmas Eve and Christmas Day spent with friends and family.  We hope that all of you had a fantastic holiday and were able to connect and enjoy your loved ones. 

We let the kids open a couple of gifts on Christmas Eve.

The first meltdown.

Ripping and tearing on Christmas morning.  Nice bike helmet, huh?  I'm not sure if I'll let him wear that one out in the neighborhood. 

Aunt Candy and Uncle Wells came over in the afternoon.

Christmas tree 2011

We didn't go to Antelope Creek Ranch this year for Thanksgiving.  We stayed at home and didn't go out into the woods to get our tree.  We went to a local u-cut place owned by one of my old jr. high p.e. teachers (Larry Ryerson).  It was quick and painless, as every tree looked alike. 

Somehow, every ornament that the kids put on the tree ended up one foot from the floor.

This is how it looked after we were done.
