Christmas 2011

Christmas Eve-Eve activity: Gingerbread houses!  We used hot glue and graham crackers, which meant the kids could do super creative houses:

Jessie's Reese's Factory
Josh's house-- took forever, but totally worth it

Natalie architecturally stunning house 
Missy's house.  Yes, she's still obsessed with the color green.
Mandie decided to build a bridge!  





















Christmas Eve in newly-opened jammies!

Some favorite presents......

Mandie-- Sit 'n Spin!



Jessica-- Indian doll!  It's SUCH a pretty doll,
 I was so excited to find it.
Missy's frog slippers


Josh-- Robotic Arm!  He even gets to build it with his dad!

Nat-- Cell phone!  She was completely shocked.  We got her a pay-as-you-go  phone and a bunch of minutes, but after they run out she's responsible for buying them herself.  Perfect plan for a teen, right?


The day after Christmas the kids and I went to Flagstaff.  We got to see everyone but new mommy Kimi and her little fam. We spent a good chunk of time making the video I posted, that was so fun.  We loved having the guys and kids participate too.  I took a couple of the kids ice skating, but I'll have to save that for another post because I can't get the photos to transfer from my phone!
The only other thing I took pictures of was Manda and the kitty.  She spent so much time under chairs and tables and Christmas trees snuggling with Skittles.  It too cute.
