Christmas 2011

Our Christmas began with buying a very large Christmas Tree from Costco...

Let the decorating begin!

My sister Julie made these ornaments for everyone
in the Waltman family and my kids love to hang theirs on our tree every year!

Carlie LOVES Christmas!

So does Gus!

Grady was having a blast and couldn't understand why he got to hang the ornaments
on the tree but got in trouble when he took them off or moved them.
Needless to say by the time Christmas day came
round the ornaments were mostly on the top of the tree!

Making cookies with Grandma Drake

Good thing Grandma and Uncle Sam love my wild child!
He is a handful.

Christmas Eve with the Waltmans... as usual a riot, lots of fun and tons of family!

SANTA CAME!

We had a blast then headed home to open PJ's and hit the hay!

Santa gifts

For Grady

For the Girls

Since we only had a small window before church the kids got to open one present... this is Carlie's excitement at finding clothes for church instead of toys! HA!

This kid LOVES lipstick/chapstick... much to his fathers dismay!

After church the fun started!
Grandpa Randy, Grandma Charlotte, and Uncle Sam came for breakfast and gifts!

Dress up clothes!

The girls loved their boots and Grady loved his Dinosaur!
I think it's fair to say these kids got spoiled!
We had a very Merry Christmas
