Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year! Collin was so much fun, Maddie knows who Santa is but doesn't really get the concept of Christmas yet.
We had very good food and made so many Christmas treats. Collin decorated his first gingerbread house all by him self this year. He was so proud but, unfortunately we didn't get any pictures because the next morning Maddie accidentally knocked it off of the counter. Collin was pretty upset but got over it quickly.
We took the kids to see Santa this year but didn't get any pictures because we didn't feel like paying thirty dollars to get a 8x10. (ridiculous) They both were so excited to see him. Maddie ran up and hugged his leg, the Santa told us that she is the only two year old to give him a hug most of them just cry :) They both asked for bikes, and sure enough that is what they got. They love them and ride them everyday... we don't have snow here.
This year for Christmas we went over to my brother, Mike, house. We had a lot of fun with his family and had a really yummy dinner. I believe that Christmas time is meant to be spent with family. I think it brings everyone closer. We are so grateful to live close enough to my brother and his family.
We think that Christmas is more fun with kids. Collin and Maddie made us laugh so mush this Christmas season we cant wait 'till next year.
We hope you all had a great holiday season!

It is tradition in our house that we have Christmas pj's, so every Christmas eve we let them open up their Christmas pj's and then we do our little Christmas program.

Jason reading some Christmas stories to them.

Collin opening his devastator present. He is obsessed with Transformers and was wanting this toy for months. Thanks G&G Renfro. If you cant tell he loves it :)

Maddie still trying to wake up.

Collins Transformer bike.

Maddie got this little highchair for her dolls and she loves it. She plays with it everyday. One day i found her in it eating. Thanks G&P Howe. (if your wondering she is potty training that is why she is not wearing pants)

Collin playing with his toys.

Riding their bikes.

Christmas clothes for Sunday.

Collin is sick of pictures this is the best one we got of him in his Sunday best.

Put a camera in front of this girl and she will pose. I love this picture.

Merry Christmas!
