| "These stockings look like shoes, lets put 'em on." |
 |
| "See, this is how it's done!" |
 |
| Decorating our "Travel Tree." This year the boys
had so much fun helping put on the ornaments. |
 |
| Here's one of my gifts - a digital photo frame. Very appropriate
considering my passion for family photos. |
 |
| The boys playing away on their new laptops from Aunt Melissa
and Uncle Jason |
 |
| "This is fun stuff!" |
 |
| "I like it too!" |
 |
| Brody holding one of his new golf clubs. We opened gifts from
us and family on Christmas Eve. |
 |
| Cam playing with the new golf club set. |
 |
| We took the boys on part of the Denver tour of Christmas Lights
that were featured in our neighborhood. The pictures don't do this house
justice. |
 |
| Just about every spot on the lawn and house was covered. |
 |
| The boys are still talking about Christmas lights to this
day! |
 |
| Making chocolate chip cookies for Santa Clause |
 |
| Brody carefully pouring ingredients into the bowl. One tongue
out... |
 |
| ...two tongues out! This was serious business! |
 |
| Having fun making cookies... |
 |
| ...and gettin' messy too! |
 |
| "Hey, can I throw these eggs?!" |
 |
| Almost finished |
 |
| Finally enjoying their hard work, making sure to save some
for Santa! |
 |
| Mom helping the boys make a placemat and note to
Santa with his cookies and milk |
 |
| The boys finding their gifts from Santa |
 |
| Cam saying, "Forget the toys, I just found
a bag of marshmallows!" |
 |
| "Look, Santa drank all the milk and ate almost all of
the cookies! He liked our cookies!" |
 |
| Cam playing with their new Little Einstein Rocketship |
 |
| We moved the dining room furniture to the basement and put
Santa'a bouncy house gift in its place! |
 |
| A much better use of the space, considering we'd
eaten in there once in the past year! |
 |
| Gretel hanging out under the tree |
 |
| Out "Travel Tree" fully loaded |
 |
| Nothing like a marshmallow breakfast! |
 |
| Here the boys are about to dig into their stockings. |
 |
| Cam quickly figured out the most efficient way to get it all
out! |
 |
| "Ra a too eee!! Ra a too eee!!" |
 |
| Brody giving Gretel her stocking treats and catnip |

 |
| White Christmas? You can say so...about a foot of snow fell.
The whitest Christmas we've ever had. |
 |
| Here's Brody trying to get up! |
 |
| Cam sweeping snow away |
 |
| Brody sweeping too |
 |
| We took a walk and the sled down to the open trails |
 |
| Cam having fun riding the sled |
