Christmas 2012

Christmas was fun this year!  Of course the kids had a great time

which is fun to watch.  I wont lie....I was sick all the time and a little

 miserable and depressed all through December and January.  But

this is a CHRISTMAS post...no room for rants about how much

I have hated this winter!  Okay. I'm done.

Christmas Eve.....with new jammies!

Christmas Eve fondue tradition.  My mom makes it the best.

This is what Malia asked Santa for  "Ladybug  Dweamlight".
It's actually a butterfly, but she thinks it's a ladybug.  There's
no arguing with her on that one.

And this is what Riley asked Santa for: Imaginext Dreamracer Set.
We saw it at Costco, and he never wavered.  That made it
really easy for Santa!

New shoes!  From mom and Dad of course.  Santa gets credit
for one toy/kid.  The rest are from us!!!

Hot Wheels race set that attaches to the wall.

Riley was so so cute.  He wrapped one of his favorite books, a
muscle car book, and gave it to Ben.  He knows Ben likes cars too.

Ben's loot!  I got him some deluxe windshield wipers, a keychain
with tape measurer, AND air fresheners.  

Rapunzel doll!  

She knows this crown belongs on her royal head :)

Hot Wheels stuff from Grandma Blacker.

Malia's gift to us.....her cute bum is always hanging out.

Feeling like a princess in her new Cinderella dress.
She loves her Daddy! Sometimes she comes right
out and tells me "I think I like Daddy better." Ha!

Rapunzel doll with matching Rapunzel dress.  

Hanging out at the Hansen's.  Strange to think that the clan will
just continue to grow, once everyone is married and having kids.

ENORMOUS reeses peanut butter cups.  They are up for it.

The kids opening their binders FULL of art supplies.  They
have played with these more than any other toy.  A hit!
