Christmas 2010

This year we spent Christmas just with Dar's family. We decided that it's more relaxing for us and more enjoyable if we spend each holiday with one family, rather than both, like we have done every Thanksgiving and Christmas since we got married. So we started the switch-off this year and it really was more relaxing not having to travel back and forth between family activities. We missed my family, but look forward to spending Christmas with them next year!

A couple days before Christmas Dar & I put together treat plates to bring to our neighbors. We made candy-cane cookies and chocolate dipped pretzels. Mmm!

Our delicious Christmas morning breakfast--red and green waffles!

Santa came!!

The stockings all hung in a row

Opening presents!!
We always open presents starting with the youngest. A diaper bag for the baby having a baby :)

Andrea checking out her new "safety glasses" and tools.

Dar got a changing pad and cover. We're liking the baby stuff!

Sean got Truman Madsen's "The Eternal Christ"

Arabian Nights book for Geo

Ryan got a computer programming book

We thought the tag was so funny :) Very creative, Dad!

And the tag was totally relevant because Mom got an iPhone for Christmas! Welcome to the world of cell phones! :)
Dad got a CD he wanted

We also went as a family to visit Dar's grandma and his older brother to watch his kids open some presents. We ate lots of yummy food and had a fun time relaxing!! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas too!!
