Christmas Eve 2010

We always spend Christmas eve with Daniels dad at his home. We always have a great time and the kids get terribly spoiled. This year was no exception...Cindy made both of the girls rocking chairs with their names. They LOVE them, they are in each of their bedrooms. The kids received so many wonderful gifts, a lot of "learning" toys (which I love, it's a teacher thing I guess), and we made many wonderful memories.

I am not sure if I've blogged about Shelby and her climbing abilities. The girl is seriously part monkey (a cute one). Daniel and I have caught her standing in the middle of the kitchen table...twice! Once she learned to climb into the chairs, she had to keep going. If there is ever a flood the poor girl will now how to make it to higher ground =)

When Cindy brought out the chairs, Shelby climbed right up...not understanding that it was a rocking chair and would move! She feel out and the poor thing hurt her little head, so in many pictures she has a nice little "goose-egg" on the side of her head.

Wheeew!

Santa!

On sunday evening we were able to, for the second year in a row, visit Daniel's Aunt's sister Mitzi's (did you get that?) home for the infamous Santa visit. The families go in together and get Santa and the Mrs. to come to Mitzi's home. It is soooo much better than the mall =)

They arrive and sing carols, read the kids a story, and then pictures and Santa's lap! Followed by gifts. "Santa" brings each child a gift to open before he leaves. The kids have a BLAST and we always leave with wonderful memories to start the holiday season.





 Ha! I love that Santa isn't so sure about Shelby!
