Christmas 2011

This year was great.. we hit every house and went out with a bang. The kids had a wonderful Christmas and we couldn't be more thankful. We had a truck load of toys and are still working on getting them all open. I swear it takes a miracle and maybe some not so nice words to get half these toys out of the package, but we're getting there. I was going to do a post for each house, but then I just decided to flood ya'll with one big post with a ton of pictures, so you welcome. ;)

Our first stop was on Christmas Eve with Steven's parents where the kids got a surprise visit from Santa. He came bearing gifts, so there were no tears. My two think Santa is cool and they know he brings toys, so they suck up every chance they get. lol.

opening their presents..

say cheese.. ;)

Then it was time for Christmas at home.. Santa brought them all kinds of goodies, so they must have been good little boys and girls. They even have a special gift coming today, but that sucker is getting it's own post! ;)

Daddy must have been good to this year, cause Santa brought him a kindle fire.. fancy. ;)

and me.. well I'm always good! LOL. I think Santa knows my husband likes my cooking & my cleaning!

Our next stop was my mom's house.. where the kids got more presents.. I'm jealous of K's toothbrush.

and I want my own froggy towel...

we always try and take family shots.. heck, there's always a new addition!

and because we can't be too serious for too long..

and yes, our kids take after us. ;)

and man how having these two around can change everything.. love them!

our last and final stop was to visit Steven's grandparents..

I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and got everything they wanted. 2011 has been a great year and I look forward to what 2012 brings to our family. Life is truly what you make of it.

Merry Christmas!
