We started the Holiday Season by making a Gingerbread house with some of our friends from church. They had the great ideas to make trees out of waffle cones and the cool train.
We had fun making and eating this house.
Then I got crafty for a Christmas gift for my nephew. I made a Mr. Potato Head out of felt. It was fun, and I'm pleased with how it turned out. :)We spent Christmas Eve at my parent's house with my family. Good food and good company. It was great!
Erik got some cool construction trucks. This is his wheel loader but he also got a dump truck and he LOVES them!
This is my nephew Matthew opening his Mr. Potato head. He was happy with it for a few minutes-he is only 18months old. But his parents loved it!
Paul got a camping lantern! We can't wait to use it camping this summer. :)
My mom w/her gift from us. This was exactly what she wanted, I can't believe I guessed right, awesome!Christmas morning at our house!!
We were really excited to give Erik a tricycle so we woke up before him and got him up. It took him a bit to wake up and get excited about presents-luckily the candy in his stocking helped :)
It's Woody! He's got Buzz too and loves playing with them.
There's Erik's Trike in the pic below.
The newest XBOX 360 with the Kinect system!!!!

The newest XBOX 360 with the Kinect system!!!!Wow do we love playing this! I had some sore legs yesterday from playing an obstacle course game. It was full of squats and jumps-yeah my legs hurt, but it felt good to be active.
A mug! Paul's Favorite! From Yellowstone too, Thanks Papa!
Paul gave me this awesome sweater. I love it!
Erik got a Curious George book from Grandma JuLee about the library and the picture on the last page matches the George poster he has on his door, I HAD to get a pictures of that.
My parents came over later for Lunch.
Erik had the idea to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and blow out a candle. We liked that idea so we did it. I was a little slow to grab the camera so I missed him blowing the candle out.
Playing with all the new Christmas toys.
And taking the new tricycle our for a spin. Erik loves this! He was outside for bout a half hour on Christmas day on the trike. He's getting a lot better at steering. It's so fun to see him pedal around.
The Christmas excitement has kinda thrown Erik's sleeping patterns off. The other night he had a hard time staying in bed. We found him on the floor like this. I don't know why sleeping on the floor next to the door is better than his bed, but we couldn't open the door cuz he was in the way, so I had to snap a pic.

All I can say is, WOW! That Gingerbread house turned out AMAZING! Very creative with the Christmas trees and the marshmellow snow and the train! WAY COOL! Great job on the Potato Head! That turned out really cute! We had never heard of the Kinect until we spent New Years at my cousins house and they showed us that obstacle course game. You guys are going to have so much fun!! I had to laugh at Erik sleeping by his door, because Shaelyn does that ALL THE TIME!! Crazy how much those kids have in common! ;) Love you guys!
