Christmas 2012

We have had a wonderful Christmas this year! Absolutely nothing to complain about ... except maybe that cold that hit our family on Christmas Eve. Oh well!

Some of our favorite gifts were - 
Alia - Minnie's Big Beautiful Bow-tique, U.S. map, Barbie car, Barbie clothes
Max - pretty much anything and everything that had anything to do with cars or trucks
Mommy - my new MotoActv (so cool), "Mommy's Sippy Cup"
Daddy - Bose headphones, sweaters :-)

Yearly tradition - making a gingerbread house

What that really means is Mommy and Daddy decorating a gingerbread house while the kids "sneak" candy :-)

Yes, look how sneaky they are!


Time to make some cookies for Santa!

"I didn't eat any sprinkles Mommy!"

Master chef at work!

"Hey Max! High five for yummy cookies!"

The "before" picture!

The stockings all ready to be opened

Alia was such a good girl this year! She got exactly what she asked Santa for, Minnie's Big Beautiful Bow-tique!

Santa brought Max Mack the truck. It was a big hit!

Grammy got Alia this map of the United States. We are going to hang it up and mark all the places she has visited and all the places where we have family. She loves it!

One of my favorite gifts of the day ... "Mommy's Sippy Cup"

Alia and I took a break from opening presents to read a story from her new book from Grandpa.

Max loves stacking and stashing cars and trucks ... Here are a few of his newest ones.

After ...
