Christmas 2011

Yes, I am finally getting pictures and some video up from our holiday celebrations!  We had such a nice holiday.  Alex was really excited about it this year and talked a lot about Santa.  We had a nice quiet morning, opening presents, playing with all our new toys, and just being a family.

Decorating cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve Day

A little How the Grinch Stole Christmas before bedtime on Christmas Eve

Time to wake up!  I had to convince Steve to let her wake up on her own...not sure who was more excited about Christmas-Alex or Daddy!  Luckily she woke up about 7:15am so we didn't have to wait to long :)

(don't you love waking up to the video camera in your face?)

The new big girl bike!  (yes it is Tinker Bell and even plays music)

 Had to get on it right away!

 Blueberries for snack...but didn't want to to take her helmet off :)
