Christmas 2011

Initially I wrote a loong Christmas post, describing all the fun activities which surrounded our Christmas. However, after battling with blogger for the past two hours (we are NOT friends!), I have decided to let the pictures do (most of) the talking! The quick version - I worked Christmas Eve, 7pm to 7 am, which isn't as bad as it sounds, as it still allows me to get most of the day with my family. Even if I am a bit sleep deprived. We had visits with both sides of the family on Christmas Eve and Christmas, and it was wonderful. Taylee is still asking for "Santa come see Taylee more!"

Cool new Utes shirt! Then they announced the logo change the next week. Believe that has now been reversed?

Initially Taylee was overwhelmed by all of this . . .

But once she got the hang of it, presents were pretty cool!

It took her 20 minutes to open each present, so it took a loong time. She finished opening her last gifts on the 26th. I hope she continues to savor the experience as she gets older. Somehow, I doubt it. :0)

Me and Nana are potheads!

Poppie got this new "back" massager from nana. She honestly didn't understand why we were all cracking up when he opened it. If you don't get - find someone with a dirtier mind than yours, and ask them.

Pretty girl all dressed up to visit Grandma and Grandpa Judson's.

Pretty Boy (teehee!) all dressed up to visit Grandma and Grandpa Judson's.

Then she insisted on wearing her new Christmas PJs OVER her outfit for the rest of the evening.

A new toaster! Every woman's dream gift! Don't worry - she actually requested it.

This is how Kent spent most of the day . . .

Taylee cooked up a storm in her new kitchen. She's been cooking for 2 weeks straight now!

Von Miller jersey. Yaah Boy!!

Santa was creative with his stocking stuffers this year . . .

My mom and I force Kent to read by buying him LOTS of books for Christmas. Lucky guy!

Taylee is now a proud Camelbak owner. I think she's even learned how to drink from it!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
