Christmas is finally here!

Santa's elf helping prepare on Christmas eve
Samantha got the phone she's been asking for, for forever!! And used all 250 free texts in a matter of minutes!!
Ethan's swiss army knife from grandpa
Ethan had been bugging my mom about what was in a present she had for him under the tree. My mom jokingly told him it was a tutu, and so the running joke began. Ethan would joke about what he was going to do with his tutu and how excited he was to get it. So... my mom couldn't resist actually going out and buying him one. It was so funny Christmas morning when he opened it... :D
Thanks to the Markels for our awesome Tony Hawk game!
Abby got this pretty quilt from grandma Whiting, with lots of hours of love and care sewn into it.
Another big hit was Owl City tickets
It was fun to have Granma and Karl to share Christmas with us. We haven't ever had someone share Christmas with us at our place our entire marriage, so it was a nice treat.
Brad was super excited about "helping" put this toy dinosaur together for Ethan
Elise working on a new fashion design
Ethan wasn't too bad at it either!! :D
Santa brought Abby a desk. Here she is at 12:20pm
Here she is at 4:50pm
Here she is at 6:41pm!
She was busy, busy, busy in that desk ALL DAY!!
While we didn't recieve snow for Christmas morning, late Christmas day came a fog that produced this beautiful hoar frost for Boxing Day.
The hike up Pilot Butte was so pretty!

A great wrap up for our Christmas season.
