Christmas in Pictures 2010

Well, Christmas has come and gone and we had a great weekend! Christmas Eve was spent with friends and family and lots of yummy food. Christmas Day came bright and early with three little boys way to excited to see what Santa had brought them. They were not disappointed :) here is our Christmas in pictures:

Santa came for Tanner:

Santa came for Zachary:

Santa came for Mommy:

Santa came for Daddy:

Santa came for Gavin:

Santa came for Grandma:

After the presents were opened, Tanner tripped and hit his head on Grandmas wheelchair. We took a trip to the hospital:

One stitch later, he was on his way home :)Christmas also produced our first snow storm of the season. It was also the first white Christmas in many, many years:

We hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!! We sure did!!!

Service with a Smile

I love this time of year! I love showing my kids the importance of service and the good feeling it can give you. Every year we take Christmas cookies to our local fire station. The boys love doing it and it is the perfect opportunity to teach them about serving others. The last 2 years we have invited some friends of ours and we each bring 2 plates of cookies. We deliver 2 plates to our fire station and the take the other 2 plates to their local fire station. The firefighters are so sweet and let the kids climb all over the trucks :) Here are the pictures from this year :)

The boys are getting very excited for Christmas. They keep trying to add to their Christmas lists and I keep telling them that Santa already has things ready to go in the sleigh. They are excited for Grandma Carol to come down and spend Christmas with them. This time of year is magical and I love watching the boys get more and more into it :)
