Dress Up Fun

Lately, the kids have had a great time dressing up. Hannah's favorite is of course Snow White. She is in her costume from the time she gets up until she goes to bed. She has to take it off to go to the bathroom, eat, and nap. Otherwise, it is part of her day, everyday! :-)

The Holiday Season

Here are some pictures of the wonderful Holiday season we had. Enjoy!

Gingerbread Land
One of the local malls had some really cool gingerbread decorations. We spent some time checking out the festive site. It sure was a great way to start the Holiday week.

A 24 foot gingerbread man.
This was made out of real sheets of gingerbread.

One more stop to see Santa.

Still chatting away....
Hannah had a lot to say.
We still are not sure what was all discussed.

Mom and Hannah wrote a letter to Santa.

Sending it.

Gifts from the Colorado Crew
We spread our gift opening out to several nights. The kids had a blast. I think they thought Christmas was a week long. The first presents we opened was from our family in Colorado.

Ben's first present he opened.

Hannah got a Dora umbrella.
One of her favorites.

Santa Arrives Early
Santa must have known we were going to be at Grandma and Grandpa Brazzale's for Christmas Eve. He came a day early. The kids left cookies for Santa and Zucchini for the reindeer. Hannah checked closely and he had most of the cookies and the Zucchini was gone, except come was dropped right outside our patio door.

Santa's gifts...

Hannah was very fired to add to her
Snow White collection, the movie.

Ben was taking it all in.

Proud new owner of a princess bike.

He was all smiles.

Christmas Eve at the Brazzale's
We had an awesome time at Grandma and Grandpa Brazzale's. We hung out during the day. We all went to church, ate some delicious lasagna, and opened up presents. The kids had fun opening and sharing their gifts.

December 26th with Meiers'
We spend the day after Christmas with Jill's Mom's side of the family. It was great to see everyone. We played in our first Wii golf tournament. It was super fun, but neither one of us was crowned the winner, this year. Lots of laughter and love to go around.

Sit and Spin.
Hannah had fun with Violet.
We hardly saw them all day.

Ben is all smiles when there
is presents and paper around.

Brazzale Christmas Gathering
We spent some time with Jill's Dad's side of the family this weekend. It was awesome to touch base with everyone. The afternoon was spent eating great treats, watching Marquette, exchanging gifts, and visiting by all.
