No Christmas is complete with out a Christmas tutu!
Gifts from mom-mom and grandad, the pink house from Aunt Melissa.
Dinner at the Roberts. Two fisted Christmas suckers in red and green of course!
Oh! We got a puppy!
Dinner at our house. Eating fake food.
Eating Santa's leftovers on Christmas morning! One of many funny memories Megan provided us with this year!
Santa brought Mark a bike and Mitchell a Star Wars Leapster.
Indy rescues Curious George.
The "Blue Gator"
Long story short: Mark asked Santa for the Green Gator John Deere Power Wheels for $300 after Santa had already purchased a bike for him. So in the spirit of Christmas magic, Santa scurried around and bought a slightly smaller blue option to add to the Christmas morning stash. On x-mas morning Mark made it clear that the surprise car in the backyard was not the green gator that was requested. Mrs. Santa was angry and a little (very) heart broken. It was hard for Mrs. Santa to keep her mouth shut. Sometime as the morning progressed, it was called the "blue gator" and we tried to push the name to give the blue F-150 some credibility. They do love to ride it and have tried several stunts running a jumping on the back and such. Ugh! Christmas!
Decorating the tree a few weeks ago. The second picture shows the part of the morning where I cried. Actually I was blinking back tears most of the morning. Decorating the tree always makes me cry! Seeing my kids delve into the box of family ornaments that my mom and Neil's mom gave to each of us on our first Christmas. Each year as a kid I loved opening each ornament with care and remembering who gave it to us or why it was collected. We did the same this year and remembered many family memories.

Love all your pictures! The Indy costume is awesome! Where did you (or Santa) find that? Cayden would LOVE one!
I understand your frustration with the blue gator. Cayden requested a 4 wheeler type thing, but got a race car (that was randomly found at an awesome price and purchased in JULY!)
So glad you all had a fun Christmas! Looks like the kids made a great haul. And the tutu rocks!
Kellan did the exact same thing w/Santa's leftover cookies...he ate every last bite of them! I didn't get a picture though :( Nathan had to give Rielyn a talk about being thankful for what you get and not being greedy after her xmas list was getting expensive and long!!
