Christmas 2010


This year Christmas was a bit different for us. The whole family had been sick with a stomach bug, so we didn't end up going home to see family for Christmas. In our 11 years of marriage, this was our first Christmas without seeing family. We missed seeing everyone and spending time with our loved ones, but it was nice and relaxing just staying home and spending time together.
Because we had planned on going home for Christmas, we actually ended up celebrating Christmas twice (one on Dec 18th bc we were allowing our kids to open their gifts from us before leaving for SC and also on Christmas day). So the photos are a mixture of those two celebrations!



I loved the two of them sitting side by side eating their treats out of their stockings. I had to capture this precious moment!

On our Dec 18th celebration, we surprised the kids with Munchkins from Dunkin Donuts (We had them hidden in their new tent and they had to find them first when they came downstairs.)
Obviously, Evie enjoyed them! :)

Some long awaited girl toys - at last!
Wiley and I made Evie her own super hero cape. You can't really see the back, but it's a photo of a large cupcake with little swirls around it and it says "Lil' Cupcake". Wiley picked out the logo and said her super power was the ability to shoot cupcakes (like Spiderman shoots webs).

Wiley loves Robin from Batman and Robin so I made him this outfit. I was really pleased with how it turned out and so easy. So glad he liked it! Shane immediately helped out by playing the part of the Christmas Riddler (his impromptu, made up villian). Now sure why I don't have photos of it, but he threw together a crazy outfit and everything in the time Wiley was getting his outfit on and then the two of them had it out. Don't worry, Robin saved the day!



Wiley and Evie enjoyed their tent and tunnel.

On Christmas morning, they go another Christmas breakfast! Eggnog french toast made into Christmas trees with sausage trunks. It was a big hit!

Shane and Wiley (mainly Shane) worked several hours putting together Wiley's first lego toy - a Star Wars aircraft.

The finished product!

Later that week we had some snow (and it's still here!) We got the kids a sled for Christmas and the whole family enjoyed it.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas too!
