We were on the road over Christmas, so we decided to celebrate on New Years!
It started last night with some cookies for "Santa-Daddy!":
Big helpers:
Then a Santa-bath:
The girls set out the milk and cookies (it tortured Ty) and then we read some Christmas books and the real Christmas story.
JD and I stayed up late getting presents wrapped- it worked out well- we both got to ring in the new year! :)
New Year's Christmas morning!
Daddy always has to help someone with their stocking:
Halle's favorite present is her sewing kit:
Cate's favorite-
The tool kit was her last present to open- she was trying not to be sad about not getting one and when she opened this, she was SO SO happy:
Ty's favorite present is his bathtub basketball hoop, but this one is a hit too:
Watching their personalized Christmas Hits video:
(JD, Beau & Curt:)
This years' loot:
After presents we had our annual New Years Christmas breakfast:
The rest of the morning has been spent building:
And sewing:
And just... playing:
It is tiring to have so much fun:
So...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We're so thankful for 2011, and we're praying for a happy and healthy 2012.
PS- JD and Halle and I are really excited for this last gift to arrive in the mail:
It's our new family iPod touch. Welcome to 2012, Parker family. :)
