Christmas 2011 |
|
|
|
This Christmas we stayed in town. Now being
older, especially the girls, the kids were SO excited for Christmas!
It was super cute hearing them talk all about Christmas :) Also this
year, I took video instead of still pictures. That way you get the
"whole effect" of our kids and their excitement ;) Enjoy! |

Video from our Christmas morning.
Sorry, it's long (19 minutes). |
|
|
|
Then, we had my mom/Grammy, Paul's
cousins (Jayson and his wife, Lisa, and Nicole) and aunt (Lylia)
and our good friends, the Murphys, over for Christmas dinner. We had a
good time with them! |

 |
|
Oh Jayson! He came dressed as Buddy from the
movie "Elf" |

Jared got 2 of these "pick-a-brick" buckets for the
Lego Store. You fill up the box with whatever/however many bricks you
can for FREE! Sweet! |
|

 |
|
One of Jared's Lego projects. He calls it a "go
cart" |
|
|
 |
|
Another project. He calls it his "Jeep" ;) |

What Mama made...a house |
|
|
 |
|
The side yard with flowers on the top |
|
|
 |
|
And a vegetable garden on the side |
|
|
 |
|
We added a bit of green grass on the back, with a water
fountain, some green plants on top and a dog house :) |
|
|

|
The front of the "mansion" ;) A fancy walkway to
the front door. Entry lights on the sides ;) |
