Christmas 2011

Christmas was really fun and low key this year.  We had Christmas Eve with my family as we always do.  We had it at our house this year since my parent's house is just too small to fit all of us plus 10 grandchildren.  It's funny, they downsized when we all moved out and now that we are all having kids, they want to look for a bigger house again so that we can all fit.  Anyway, we all fit great at our house and Brianna made up a game this year that was so fun!  It was a mix of couples trivia and minute to win it games.  She did a great job and everyone had a really fun time.  Grandma of course spoiled all the grandchildren, especially my two girls.  Addison received a full size keyboard that she of course LOVES!  It teaches you to play songs so she has learned to play a few.  Sadie received an American Girl doll.  She saw an off brand one in the add at Target that she wanted.  When my mom got it she didn't think they were cute enough so she returned it and ordered the American Girl one. Along with it came a bunk bed and my mom made bedding for it.  She also sewed her a nightgown and dress for her.  Asher received a Micky Mouse Space Shuttle which I still think is his favorite gift.  My kids are so lucky to have such an awesome grandma who makes everything all about them.  They are a  bit spoiled by her but oh well, she doesn't seem to be slowing down. 

Christmas morning the girls woke up around seven.  Ryan told them to go back to their room for a half hour which they did!  We let them open presents around seven-thirty.  Both girls received iPod shuffles, clothes, boots, gloves, Sadie got a bunch of makeup and stick on nails.  The only toy either of them asked for was a Monster High Doll.  It was crazy that they wanted clothes and "older" toys, they are growing up TOO fast!  Asher received every emergency vehicle known to man including a helicopter and a Paper Jamz guitar that he "rocks" to.  Easton received a tool bench and some hooded towels.  The kids also got their own computer.

We didn't have church till eleven so we were able to open presents and eat breakfast before we were able to go to church. Grandpa Jeffy Poo, Brett, Erin and Blake all joined us. It was a great meeting and only 50 minutes!  Afterwards we went to Brent and Brittney's house for brunch.  There the kids opened more presents and were able to play for a bit.  Afterwards, we went home and put Asher and Easton down for naps.  Ryan and I laid around and the girls did their own thing.  It was a great Christmas!

Addison's Dance Concert

Addie has been taking Hip Hop since the fall.  She had a dance concert on December 17th and she did so good!  The song they danced to was "I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas" done by some rapper.  We are so proud of her and she is loving hip hop and practices really hard.  Also, her boyfriend Mikey P. came into town and was able to watch her.  Good job Addie, we sure LOVE you!

This is her stall
