Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas morning. This was the first time for us to be on our "own." I have been waking up at my parents house for 30 years. Spencer at his parents and then the last 5 at my parents so this year was different for us. It was so much fun having Santa come here and see the joy in our little 2 years old face when she walked down the stairs. It was also a very exciting day because it was Carter's first Christmas. We had a busy morning packed with opening gifts and enjoying cinnamon rolls.

The kids opening their stockings.

Even Deuce got to be part of the fun!

Like we all thought, Carter loved all the bows and wrapping.

Christmas afternoon Nana, Papa, Titi, Gaga (that is what Aubrey calls uncle Scott), and Aunt Pat came over. We had such a wonderful time enjoying each others company, opening gifts, and eating an awesome dinner. The family all got here before Aubrey and Carter woke up from their naps. It looked like Santa came again!

Winding down time with Nana. Oh what a day! The kids were so tired.

We were so happy to have Christmas here this year and to get to enjoy it with everyone. Thank you Santa and everyone for such a wonderful Christmas and Christmas Eve and spoiling all of us rotten.

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve. We went up to Stockton to celebrate with the Sup side. It was a fun day filled with lots of activities and good food.

The kids did a white elephant game. Aubrey was very happy with her Tink puzzle.

The grown-ups also did a white elephant game with silly gifts.

Santa even made a guest appearance. Aubrey was thrilled.

All the cousins.

The Guys.

The ladies.

We made it back home after the party and got ready for the big night. This was the first time that we were at our own home for Christmas Eve night.

I was very happy when I finally found matching Christmas PJ's.

Getting all ready for Santa.

Holiday's on the Farm at Dell' Osso

This year we got to check out Holiday's on the Farm. We love going to the pumpkin patch at this farm and the way they had it decorated for Christmas was also very neat. Aubrey, Carter and I met up with Nana and Titi the week before Christmas. We went on a nice train ride around the farm, jumped on a huge pillow and Aubrey got to see Santa yet again.

Gingerbread house

Last night we made our gingerbread house. It was a fun family activity.

We have been busy with other holiday crafts. We made our annual Christmas mice for Spencer's holiday work party last Friday.

I have been trying out a new craft lately, etching glass. This is what we are passing out to our family this year:

On a side note. Carter started sitting up all by himself right after Thanksgiving. He is also starting to scoot himself around. Not crawling yet but he has figured away to get around kind of. He tried puffs for the very first time on Friday.
