Christmas 2010

Christmas started a week early for us, we celebrated with Jake’s Mom and family on that side.  The kids had a great time with their cousins and enjoyed all their new toys and clothes!  We also celebrated Mindy’s 30th birthday and Jake’s step dad’s 50th birthday.

And then on the 26th at Nanny’s house!

Pillow pets!  The new craze!  It’s a pillow, it’s a pet, a pillow pet!  They are sooooooo soft, I wouldn’t mind having one myself!

We let the kids pick out something for the grandparents (5 dollars or less) that would be from them.  Landen found a peppermint ornament which he spotted right away and wanted it for Nanny.  She always has peppermints in her purse and shares them with the kids.  She loved her new ornament!

Hot potato game, so fun!

Maddie’s styling Rapunzel from Aunt Lynn.  She loves it.
