Christmas

First we went to Nonnie and Papa's. Eliana loved the tree.


John LOVED the silly string Santa left in his stocking. I don't think Uncle TJ loved it quite as much. :)



John and Eliana waiting patiently while everyone chatted with Uncle Trent who is in Argentina.


Then it was time to go to Grandma and Grandpa's to be spoiled rotten! :)
We'd like to give a special thanks to Aunt Ashley for the Nerf Buzzsaw. We cant wait until you have kids one day. :)



Another one of John's favorite gifts was this sweet Black & Decker tool kit from Grandma and Grandpa.

He has been "fixing" just about everything in the house lately.

Christmas Eve

John helped his sister open her presents.

She loves her doll.

And evidently she's pretty tasty.

John smiled for new pjs, new toys, but the "Smart Cycle" was by far his favorite.

Good Morning

Winter Solstice Festival

Dad and John braved the cold (-15 degrees) and the line to take a picture with one of Santa's reindeer.


We enjoyed hot chocolate, cookies and making ornaments in the downtown visitor center.


We couldn't resist this!
