Christmas 2011

We had a great Christmas this year! We knew we were staying home this year and it would be pretty low key but it turned out really nice. Aubrey was able to come down on Friday and stay until the following Wednesday so that was fun.  The kids love when she is here!

On Christmas Eve we went to look at lights and came home to open our one gift (new pjs) and set out cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Karlee was so excited to do this! When it was time for bed Karlee made sure to close her eyes and go right to sleep so Santa could come:)

Luckily the kids are still young enough that they slept in on christmas day (we actually had to wake Karson up because Karlee couldn't take it anymore.) They went out to see that Santa had come and had filled their stockings.

Then we all opened presents.  Both the kids have been so good at not touching the presents that have been under the tree so they were so excited they could finally open them. Karlee got everything she wanted and said christmas was so fun!

Everyone got new church clothes from my mom since christmas was on Sunday.

Karson liked unwrapping his presents and wanted to play with all his new toys right away. 

We were all spoiled way too much! Between santa, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and each other we got plenty for christmas. Karlee even said she can get rid of some of her old toys since she has so many new toys.

 After eating our traditional christmas breakfast we got ready for church and went and enjoyed the christmas program.  The kids looked darling in their outfits.

After church we came home and skyped with my parents and called other family.  We played with our presents and ate dinner.  It was a nice day.  We wish we could have been with more family but we feel so blessed this christmas and are excited for the new year!
