I'm so behind! Well this Christmas was wonderful! Tate was able to be home and of course we ate wonderful food and enjoyed many of our wonderful traditions. River loves music and loved playing on the piano with Tate.
River of course was the star of the show for Christmas. He got so many fun gifts, he is totally spoiled, but not rotten :) He really enjoyed opening gifts this year.
One of my families traditions is to open English crackers that are filled with a surprise and a crown you have to wear during dinner. So here we all are sporting our crowns at Christmas Eve dinner. Queen Chelan!
King Colonel
King Tater tot
Mom always makes WONDERFUL food for dinners, breakfast, etc. for the holidays. Dinner was delish as always :)
Another family tradition is we open all of our tree presents on Christmas Eve including a new pair of jammies. These were Riv's Christmas Eve Jammies. Then on Christmas Day we open Santa gifts.
River is Obsessed with being thrown up in the air. Uncle Trevor and Tate were totally exhausted! He will just keep coming back for more, he will just stand under them with his arms up smiling. How can you say no to that cute face :) So they always get a good work out.
Uncle Trev got Riv a really cute train track that River loved and still loves. The perfect gift for a little boy. Even the big boys were playing with it :)
This is how excited Riv gets when he gets tossed in the air! haha! Look at his face, this pic just makes me laugh :)
Santa visited! Man was River spoiled, but he was such a good boy all year ;)
So I do have to say this was probably a Toy Story Christmas. He got Toy Story 3 and a little Toy Story bike that has Buzz Lightyear on it. It was by far his favorite Toy!!! He is totally obsessed with it. Thanks for that one Santa aka Grandpa :)
Him on his Buzz Ride. He also got a ton of toy cars that he also loves!
I just had to throw this pic in because he finally has enough hair to play with :) Yay!
River also received Buzz jammies and they look so cute on him.
Another Family tradition is playing games and this is a fun new one we got Qwirkle.
Tony and Riv playing with his many toys Legos, cars, trains, hammer in pegs, etc.
Christmas is always such a great time of year! We love spending time with Family and just getting to enjoy each others company. There is nothing quite like the love of Family. I know that we are so blessed to be surrounded by family. We have the best Families anyone could ask for, we truly love all of you and hope you all had as wonderful of a Christmas as we did. Of course this time of year we remember what the season is all about...the birth of our Savior. How blessed we are to know all that he did for us. It is always a special time to get to sit around the fireplace and a beautiful Christmas tree and read of Christ's birth. Love you all!
Merry Christmas 2010!!
