December 25, 2009 - Merry Christmas

We ended the day with a game of "Rock-em, Sock-em." Good day! Tylar and Jade battling it out...
Tylar got an awesome musical instrument set. It is super great...and super loud!
We made a giant photo book for Grandma Annie and Grandpa Clair of the family vacation/cruise in October. You know you have given a good gift when you make the person getting it cry. Home run!

Aniston and Tylar both loved "backpack"....thanks Aunt Dani!
























December 24, 2009 - Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve this year! Above is Aniston with her letter to Santa. She traced his name, started a portrait of him, but it turned into "rocky" with a beard. She also added mountains and snow. Rather than leaving cookies, Aniston wanted to leave Santa some healthy snacks so he would have energy.
Aniston decided that we needed to throw bread on the roof for the reindeers so they wouldn't get hungry. I thought it was very thoughtful and creative.
The girls had a great time dancing in the new jammies that Johnny the Elf brought. He always knows where we are on Christmas Eve....it is like magic!


Aniston and Tylar LOVE to dance!

"Shake your hips"
Dancing like a ballerina.
Tippies!

Grandpa Craig put together a special present for the girls that included necklaces, bracelets, candy, coloring books, yo-yo's, a jewlry box, toothbrushes, and many more treasures! Grandpa Craig....we love you!!!




Tylar loved Grandpa Craig's treasures!

Thank you Grandpa Craig!

Grandpa Craig's treasure box is about to be opened


Here we are at our traditional Christmas Eve dinner in Grandpa Craig and Grandma Eileen's living room.
Before we headed off to Grandma and Grandpa's, the excitement of the Christmas season got to Aniston....she was OUT!
