Christmas 2011

How awesome is Christmas? We love Christmas around here, and really get into it. The day after Thanksgiving, we set up the Christmas tree, start playing the Christmas carols, get the lights up, and start celebrating. There are always so many fun parties, events, and things to do, that there's no way I can include it all, but these are a few of my favorites. We had a great time with my sister in law Molly, and her six kids visiting. We made these killer gingerbread trains, and basically just had a blast for a week while they were here.

Allie had a dance recital, and I was so proud of her and her friends. They did SO well, and her teacher put on an amazing show. I had no idea it would end up being one of my favorite things of the season! Allie is in the back row on the right.


A fun Christmas Eve hike with a few friends, then back to our house for lunch.
Excited girls waiting for Santa




Santa came!
Dylan's favorite gift (other than his basketball hoop which is just awesome!) was this bear that Allie got for him. He loves it every chance he gets.
We had a great holiday. The day after Christmas everything gets packed away for the next 11 months. We like to get ready for the next big holiday at our house. ALLIE'S BIRTHDAY!

I'm liking your new header, background and format! SO cute and clean (does that make sense?) I'd like to see some of those hike pics if you have a chance.
