Christmas Morning 2011...

My friend Emily gave us this great dish set/Night Before Christmas story...

Aidan of course ate the cookies that came with it (they were from Mrs. Fields - can't blame him!) so we left brownies for Santa. I don't think Santa complained - they were made by my sister's friend Tim Connors - amazing!!!!

Lucas was so happy - he opened a talking Woody (or as he calls him Buzz...every character from Toy Story is Buzz)...

Aidan was very pleased that Santa thought him a good enough boy to bring him the Lego Hero Factory robot he wanted....beyond thrilled (Nate wasn't, it took 2.5 hours to put him together!)

Chloe is getting settled in our new home as well. She loves laying by the fire and sleeping in the boys room...

We enjoyed a low-key Christmas morning at home. It was great - except for Aidan throwing up all morning...and Nate throwing up all night...the in-between parts were good though!

Some of my favorite ornaments from our tree:



So great mom's think alike I guess...below are Nathan and my ornaments...the gold angel/drummer boy are from when we were both kids...my mom got us the jingle bell snowmen with our names on them and Nate's mom got the snowman angels...

I love the ornament below - it was Nate's from when he was a kids...it's the smallest "Night Before Christmas" story....

One of Aidan's favorite things are snow globes...we have a pretty big Christmas snow globe collection going....

Aside from the flu hitting our house we had a wonderful Christmas.

Looking forward to a new year!
