We went on a Christmas hike in the afternoon- much of it was spent like this. What an amazing Uncle.
I found a tent-- Merry Christmas Dave.
Dad and Josh were in heaven-
As was I- trying out my new LENSE!!!! yes- it's amazing-- there will be more portraits to come-- these are the very first tries.
The hike made all of us tired~ Elles decided the only way to sleep was with Uncle Dave-- and yes, it looks like he is strangling her-- but she was fine.
Setting out the cookies for Santa--
on Christmas Eve we give our home made gifts-- I for some reason don't have them on here-- I'll have to find the pics- but~ I was lucky enough to get 2 this year- Dave made me the one he owed me from last year- he gave me a bag of styrofoam balls last year... ghetto- so this year I got a hawiian nativity-soooooo worth the wait.
On Christmas day- Booky watched Elles- she decided to take 4 steps AND get her first tooth-- let's just say we need Booky around more often!
Santa's note this year-- not the cutest- but there is always next year for him to improve...
Christmas morning is always a party-- but this year was especially fun~ Josh brought the humor with this classy gift- "who you callin tiny?" yep- that is now the favorite family joke.
I'm ashamed to say it-- but I have been promising this gift for over a year- FINALLY I came through!
Elles loved her blanket from Uncle Josh~ and Papa was there too-just not in the pictures...
After we opened presents the kids rode the dirt bikes again-- let's just say these puppies are worth their weight in GOLD and they are heavy... (don't worry Emmy always rode with someone)
For those of you who have not played this game...do.
and as with most things in life~ the Disney version trumps all others...
