Since it was exactly one week before Christmas, we decided we better carve out some time to go get a Christmas tree. We bundled up and headed for StoryLand Christmas Tree Farm.
It didn't take long to find the one!
What a transformation! Ready and waiting for Santa!
Christmas morning! They were up at 6:00am, but let us sleep a little longer.
She sat on Santa's lap and told him she wanted Kit Kitteridge. When Santa asked, "Do you want anything else?" her reply was, "No, just Kit." Wow! Easy job for Santa this year! He made her dreams come true. Now she wants to travel to one of the American Girl Doll stores. We will have to see about that!
Cousin Time!
The girls spent the week after Christmas with us. We went roller-skating, sledding in the woods, to the matinee, and had many late-late nights. But that is what Christmas vacation is all about!
This gem is all he wanted for Christmas. They are out on the driveway target practicing.
Pretty good for his first day! Mine would have ended up in the woods or up in the trees!
We hope each of you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year celebration. Here's to 2011!!!!! We are headed back to school tomorrow and lesson plans are not even sketched-in! YIKES!!! It has been such a relaxing vacation, but the time has come to jump head-first back into the routine...so here we go.
Love you!!!
A wonderful Christmas at home with just the family! It is nice to have that once in awhile! Sure love you and yours!
