Christmas!

My Parents were able to drive over to spend Christmas with us. They managed to stay ahead of the big storm that hit Portland. We had a great time spending the holliday at our own home this year. We were able to enjoy our Christmas tree! Grandma Becky brought a gingerbread house to decorate for Santa

Evelyn had to leave him (Santa) some yummy Eggnog and a gingerbread tree. She was really excited about Chrismas the next morning but she managed to go to bed without too much trouble. The next morning we got up, as usual, at around 7:30AM. We opened stockings then had pancakes and sausage.

Once again, Always the life of the party

Uncle Myron and Aunt Cheryl sent the girls some great books. Aunt Jennie and Uncle Casey and girls gave them wooden dress up dolls. Aunt Katrina and Uncle Chris and family sent Stella a fun flower toy and Evelyn stickers and a crayon rubbing kit. Among many other wonderful gifts. Thank you Everyone!

Clayton got some "homework" from Chris. {it's super fun, everyone's enjoying the "homework" } an engineering game entitled "World of Goo".

Evelyn over the course of the morning was a cowgirl,

And a Ballerina / Doctor

We even had a White Christmas. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas too! {Evelyn had her Christmas wish granted...she got a kangaroo pet shop.}
