Christmas 2010

Better late than never...right!?
Ahh...Love Christmas and everything about it- This year, my mom came out to visit us for two weeks before Christmas and then had to get back home for the holidays, but we had fun while she was here- We had an early little Christmas with her- My brother and his girls came down for dinner and presents and good times! Can't believe I didn't take any pictures of my mom and the kids! Lo siento mama!

My three crazy kids counting down the days till Christmas!

Playing out in the snow with daddy- Yes..that is Gavin in a pink parka- I couldn't find his snow coat...it was hiding in the closet!

On Christmas Eve, we took the kids to Festival of Lights! They love it- kind of a family tradition now- So Fun!







The Festival of Lights is a park, here in our city, where they have all kinds of light displays around the park for you to drive through and look at- while listening to Christmas music!
Gavin was in Ahhh, and excited to sit on my lap, in the front, while the car is moving
Making Christmas cookies for Santa



Christmas cookies, a little mug of eggnog, and a letter to Santa...we're all set
Yummy...

Christmas morning...can you feel the excitement!

First glance at what Santa left

Reading the letter Santa left for them







Gavin is kind of awake and getting his first look at Christmas

Yes...A new Cars big wheel bike with a stash of goodies in the back!

Still not quite awake...love that expression on his face

Taking a test drive



Opening some presents







Eating stocking candy in the morning...bring on the tummy ache
After some yummy breakfast of crepes, we all got ready and headed over to the Holman's house to have a little Christmas celebration with the Mitchell side of the Family- Forgot to bring my camera, of course, but we had a great time eating, opening presents, playing games, and hanging out with the family-


A few days after Christmas, we headed up to my Dad's for a Christmas celebration with the Peck family-
My stepmom made an amazing Christmas dinner, and we opened presents and had a great time hanging out with my family-



My brother, Kevin, and his girls

Grandpa and some of his grandkids





Dad- wouldn't be Christmas if you didn't get some golf balls

Jen and Kevin- aren't they cute

Ryan and Amber- cute

Me and Charlie...nice!

We had a great Christmas this year- We feel so blessed to have families that we love and adore- love, love this time of year!
