Merry Christmas

We Made cookies and decorate them several times this year. The kids both ate the frosting and sprinkles off the cookie and then didn't eat the cookie. They know what's good.

Christmas Eve with the Sautters. We had dinner and opened our pajamas and slippers. Margie with Tinkerbelle, Emma with High School Musical, Jakey as superman and Aiden as lightning Mcqueen.

What a great Christmas! We had so much fun watching the kids open presents, and opening a few of our own. One of the best parts was putting out cookies and a carrot for santa and the reindeer. That was the first thing Margie looked for whe she got up in the morning. She was so excited about the fact that Santa had really come because those cookies were gone!




December 26 the weather was so nice we went for a walk and played at the park. I think the official temp. was about 70! It was a little windy, but died down by the evening so we sent the kids out to play. Sidewalk chalk, swings and slides outside with no coat on Dec.26. What is this Arizona? We didn't complain, but we would have loved to see a white christmas. I guess we'll have to visit Grandma to see that!
