Christmas

We had such a great time over the holidays. This is the first time, in a long time that we didn't travel for Christmas and was able to wake up in our own home on Christmas morning. It was wonderful! Even more wonderful is that Ryan's brother and best friend came to visit us over Christmas. We all had such a fun time together.

The weather over Christmas was unseasonable warm. Carson woke up on Christmas morning and came running into our room saying, "It's Christmas!! It's Christmas!!! Let's go look at all the snow outside!" He thought since it was Christmas that there must be snow on the ground. But not this year. Not even a flake of snow...at least until later in the week.

Here are some pictures that highlight Christmas 2011. Aunt Melissa and Uncle Alan bought the kids matching PJ's.




The kids {and Aunt Melissa} decorated cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve to set out with a glass of milk.

What a blessed Christmas we had!
