Holiday Fun!

Below are some pictures of our Christmas break. Notice I am not in any of the pictures, yes someone has to take the pictures and it just works out that most of the time it is me taking the pictures...the sacrifices we mothers make (bummer when you are 26 weeks pregnant and already feeling like a beached whale....no offense to beached whales). Anyways Christmas morning was great and Tristen and Blake were excited to open their gifts. Here are just a few of our holiday pics.

         Mom, Dad & Tristen made a Gingerbread house while Blake napped on Chritmas Eve. Blake is too full of energy to even attempt this task. It was a lot of fun, even though half the candy probably never made it on the gingerbread house thanks to a little girl :)

Jason taking a break from working on the basement, now he's on to his next construction project! The gingerbread house.

We were pointing out the fact that our gingerbread man looked really ANGRY with his red beady eyes, kinda creepy, huh!!! I guess you would be mad too if you knew you were going to be eaten. Oh well he tasted yummy!!!!!!!

Christmas Eve we decided to leave some food out for Santa, Frosty, and the Reindeer. Tristen got to pick out the treat: Donuts, string cheese, carrots, and chocolate mik.

Tristen decided after we put the yummy food under the tree that Sanata didn't need his string cheese or chocolate milk so she decided she would eat/ drink them.

Christmas Morning, we cut out some of the gifts in the picture, oh well :0

                   Tristen and all her loot! She loved opening her gifts, it was fun to see her reaction to her presents.

Blake loved opening his gifts as well, granted he is still young (18 months) so he liked  ripping the wrapping

paper off his gifts just as much as he liked his gifts. Next year he will no doubt appreciate Christmas more.

Bud and his cheesy smile (he has a hard time keeping his eyes open for a pic) chasing me with his cars, he is such a fun and cute little guy

Christmas breakfast, yep, homemade bannana muffins, cinnamon rolls, and clementine oranges...healthy huh?

Hey it's Christmas :) That night I made a Ham, mashed potatoes, rolls and veggies for dinner, so one decent meal counts right?

Lastly I had to include this one, Tristen had a good laugh at herself when she ran around the house with Mr. Potatohead's (Santa) beard on. She cracks us up!
