Christmas 2011- Part 1

I think I am going to share our Christmas in two parts. I have a lot of pictures to share so I thought I’d break it down.

We started off celebrating the Christmas season with my family. Everyone came into town the week before Christmas to celebrate.

We decorated Gingerbread houses. Ethan loved eating the candy. While Kate really got into it. Look at her fabulous creation.

I get a little serious about my gingerbread housing. My brother… not so much :)

We played lots of games. Santa bingo among a few others. We also did our annual white elephant gift exchange.

We even got to open presents.

Grandma and Grandpa win as givers of the present of the year. A real Buzz Light year! “And beyond!” are the two words that come out of Ethan's mouth most each day.

 

It was fun to spend the week together just hanging out. We even ventured out to Chuck E Cheese one day.

These two were inseparable. Although, Ethan may not look too enthused in this picture because we were interrupting him during Toy Story, he loves Kate! He still asks to play with her everyday. Cousins are the best!
