Our Christmas

We had a fun and rather low-key Christmas this year.  The presents were much more reasonable than in the past - partially because the kids didn't need anything, and partially because we didn't have much time to get a list to Santa.
 Cookies and milk for Santa
 Our little Santa
 Our crooked tree - and that's all the presents!
 Tristan was pretty happy with his gift from his sister.
 Grandma got him some much needed dress up clothes and he immediately transformed into Batman
He hasn't stopped playing with this aircraft carrier and jets
  
He was soooo excited about getting his own two-wheeled scooter!  And it was Lightening McQueen!
Unfortunately he's only gotten to ride it down the hall a couple of times because it's been so snowy and icy outside.
 We were just waiting for her pile of presents to topple over on her since she kept picking them from the bottom.
 A new dress and doll with matching dress from Grandma Judi
 She had been asking for this movie since her birthday and was so excited that she got it.
 Her very own ice cream maker!
Now she has an Easy Bake oven, a Cake Bakery, and an ice cream maker!  This girl is getting as many kitchen gadgets as her momma, and it's cutting into my kitchen space!  :)
 The kids got a Wii this year, and weren't nearly as excited about it as I thought they would be.  They have enjoyed playing it, Tristan especially likes the sword fighting game on it (imagine that!).  But we didn't get the screams and jumping up and down that we thought we would.
 I think they were more excited about their battery powered toothbrushes!
Our beautiful little princess!
