Christmas 2012

Now it's been too long that I don't remember all the details, but the pictures kind of help. 

Christmas Eve was the traditional Fondue dinner, Nativity, sugar cookies and . . . . ta da . . . bedtime at a reasonable hour. 

What's a re-enactment of the Nativity without a wiseman with a new self bought Christmas toy? . . . my favorite part of the whole night. 


The poor kids had to wait around while Matt was in writing cards for Lisa's gifts . . . we made them keep waiting until we found out that's all he was doing.


Drew was super excited (luckily) for his Jake and the Neverland Pirate ship. 


Actually he was just super excited about everything . . . even clothes.


Olivia got all she ever wanted . . . her American Girl Doll - Kate. 
Her Christmas was totally complete.


Addison was pretty easy to please too this year with Toms and some new fake glasses (Liv broke her last set).


Ahhh . . . I love this.


My mom came up with some creative ways to give cash this year . . . we pooled all our money and got Ansen a generator and me a silhouette.  Life is good.


Just Dance 4 . . . we all just stayed in out PJs the whole day long.  Good day!


This picture was the day after Christmas . . . but we decided to give Legos a try and it's a hit. 

Christmas morning we got to talk to Jeff  - breakfast became "rushed" when Banna realized that her baby was going to call soon. 


Our abandoned chairs after our time was up and we had resume our last Christmas without Jeff.


And family Christmas pictures before we sadly all headed out the door for our separate homes.


Lisa, Ansen and I got the memo . . . funny.


Oh there we go . . . got it. (thanks for that one, Matt)
