Christmas Past

Christmas morning Isobel woke up at like 1:30am to go to the bathroom and came running in - "Santa's been here!"  "Too bad, it's too early to be up for the day - go back to bed."


This is what our house looked like Christmas morning.  I woke up at like 6 for some reason and had to wait for the girls to wake up.  I sat in my office waiting to see movement in the girls' room ;)  Ya, Bryce teased me for being a little girl who is too excited to sleep.  (At first he thought I woke up because I heard the girls.)
The girls were happy to be awake and opening presents.
And now I know you are dying to know what I got in that huge box by the couch.  Bryce did another BIG surprise (like my birthday bike last year).  Here's the beauty:
I just had to try it out - and it worked - cranberry white chocolate oatmeal cookies - yum!

Just a few days after Christmas, Mom and Dad came for a visit for their anniversary and some killer burgers at Bobcat Bite :)  See how happy my kids are to see them!

We had fun with G, KT, Hannah, and Will on Christmas evening/night.  They came back up for New Year's and we played games and went sledding.  Overall, it was a lovely holiday and I don't want to admit it's so far gone.  Maybe that's why my tree is still up...
