Christmas 2011

This year we had the most fabulous Christmas. I love my little family and we had a great time together just the four of us in abnormally warm Virginia.  On Christmas Eve we had our neighbors over for dinner and then after the kids went to bed Ben and I watched our current obsession “Wonder Years”. It was nice and quiet; we loved it. Hallie woke us up on Christmas morning just like she does every other morning. She walks into our bedroom climbs on our bed and tells us it’s morning and we need to say our prayers and get going. This time she also added that she couldn’t wait to see if Santa had eaten the cookies and drank the milk we left out for him. Haha no mention of presents she just wanted to see if he had eaten our food.

Kyle was surprisly good at unwrapping presents. And yes that is a box of cereal my kids got from Santa. We don't buy cold cereal at our house so this was a big treat!

I love that I captured her pure joy in this picture. I have a whole other blog post I need to write about this shovel.

  1. I was quite perturbed that I didn’t see the coveted box of cold cereal! haha what do you guys normally eat? We do cold cereal but rarely the sugar kind so my kids feel the same way about that stuff. (oh, the pic wouldn’t come up) and Your little man and mine had the same Christmas sweater! AWE!

  2. Thanks for letting me know you couldn’t see that picture. Hopefully I fixed it now. We usually eat old fashioned oatmeal or eggs and toast. I love that sweater our little guys wore. So handsome!
