Christmas!!

Santa came!!! He ate the cooikes and milk Emma left out for him. And when Santa left he left us a white Christmas. It snowed Christmas Eve and all Christmas Day. We got up, opened all our gifts, and then as Emma tried on every new dress-up, Laura made us an awesome Christmas breakfast of homemade breakfast burritos. They were so yummy! And then we oggled over our gifts again. Laura got me an awesome set of Marth Stewart pots and pans! They are incredible. She shouldn't have. I gave Laura a new set of dishes and glasses she wanted. Phil got Guitar Hero. Dave got Guitar hero. :) We all got cool gift certificates and other fun stuff. It was Shae's first Christmas and she had a ball eating the wrapping paper and banging on boxes. She is so cute. Below is a slideshow of our fun day.

Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was full of cooking(Laura and I. Made a yummy salmon dip!) playing playstation(Phil and Dave duked it out in football and some car game) and decorating sugar cookies all in anticipation for Christmas to come while it snowed and snowed. It was a nice relaxing day after 18 hours in the car the day before! Before bed, Emma set out cookies and milk for Santa. Did he come to our house?

Tree Decorating

Dec 1st the tree went up! This year was alot of fun decorating the tree with Emma. She would gently take an ornament and place it on the tree. Of course they all went in the same area where she could reach so mommy had to move a few around, but we had a great time. If you notice in the background we watched Elf and ate cookies in the holiday spirit!
