Christmas 2010

I was in Uganda the first two weeks of December so our family had to cram a lot of Christmas in the last two weeks! Tis the season! It was a whirlwind but we made lots of fun memories!

We decorated the Christmas tree. I accidentally deleted the pics of the girlz decorating the tree! Ugh! :-(

The girlz attended our homeschool Co-Op's Christmas party...

We saw the Nutcracker with the Simon Squirrels...

We went to Utica Square to see Santa and the Nutcracker vignettes. (Correction - I went to Utica Square to see Santa and the Nutcracker vignettes. The girlz went to satisfy their mother and get a free cookie.)

We took the girlz shopping to buy gifts for each other...

We watched Family Time With Santa - a countdown to Christmas and one of our corny traditions. This may have to be our last year to watch this video. Too much torture on mom and dad.

We attended the Christmas PJ Party at Chick-fil-A with the Simon Squirrels...

We read The Nativity by Mark Weimer. We really enjoyed it and it helped remind us about where our focus should be this Christmas season.

We bought a goat on WorldVision.org for a family in a third world country. Some of our family members that usually get worthless gifts from us had their $ go towards the goat. Merry Christmas! ;-)

We watched Christmas With a Capital C...

We had fun celebrating Christmas Eve at Steve's parent's house...

And here's pics of Christmas at our house...

Christmas lunch at Steve's aunt and uncle's house...

And Christmas night we donned our Snuggies and took my mom to look at Christmas lights. Oh yes we did. You're jealous, I know ;-)

My sister and her boys came to see us from OKC and we celebrated Christmas with my mom. They gave us Kids Dance for the Wii which was way fun. We opened gifts and have a yummy turkey dinner...

We went to the Aquarium...

And saw the Lights Over Rhema...

Lots of fun memories from Christmas 2010!
