Where to start, where to start? We had a BUSY couple weeks leading up to Christmas. All of it fun but we are loving our lazy week between Christmas hoopla and New Years. The girls were so anxious to decorate gingerbread houses this year. We teamed up with the Bryan ladies and made a morning of it.
Charlotte and Delaney will be Dragonflies together next year just like their big sisters!
Quinn got to watch and eat from a safe distance.
Meredith and Ava
Random shot of the week:
One morning last week we made gingerbread men. We read a LOT of the Gingerbread Baby/Boy/Girl books this holiday season so the girls pretended one escaped from the oven. They made a trap for the gingerbread baby. Keep them entertained for 30 minutes!
The one picture we managed at the Winter Garden Aglow. Tad bit cold and busy this year!
The one shot from Christmas Eve Mass. We were in such a hurry we didn't even manage a picture of the girls all dressed up.
After Mass the Ramstads joined us for dinner.
Pics courtesey once again of Brook!
Delaney always likes to sit in between our guests.
Quinn usually likes to goof off and not eat.
Not sure what is happening here...
Merediths special present for Jesse and I. Gah - someone needs some self tanner and it's not Meredith
So proud of her special ornament. Delaney, not impressed.
Quinn kept herself busy by dumping water on herself.
Bonus gift: bird feeder
Delaney made a cute ornament at school too.
The Ramstads with their new puppy (Meredith).
The girls got to open one present on Christmas Eve.
Busy town and Mermaid castle. Thanks Nana and Papa Mike!
Setting out cookies for Santa. Nice jammies Meredith. Refused to wear her Christmas garb.
Quinn thinks she is super funny.
For some reason Meredith was convinced she was getting a big girl American Doll.
Here she was ceremoniously handing Bitty over to Quinn.

Ready for Santa.
Ready for Mom to hurry up and brush her teeth and for Quinn to get out of bed!
Santa brought a new tiger.
And some boots for Papa. Convinient that we just turned the outside lights off and Papa and Grammie popped over for Christmas!
Big Time!
So so happy with her new Kanani doll.
She didn't get her Barbie house but she did get a new Barbie RV!
Happy with cereal in a cup and watching the excitement.
New Snow White dress or "Hi Ho, Hi Ho" as Quinn calls her.
Big hit of the day, Noahs Ark.
Only intersted in the old, ratty Rapunzel Barbie from last year.
Assembling toy #49857
Glad our neighbors are in Morocco enjoying Christmas. We filled up our garbage and recycle bin as well as theirs.
New princess tent from Aunt Korntey!
Enjoying pre-Christmas dinner Krumcake. Thanks Brooke!
New ride for the Barbies.
Quinns favorite gift? A necklace that came with a book.
We had a really great Christmas in Boise with the kids and Gene and Dana. We got to do all the activities that we wanted and everyone was happy! We even threw in a little Christmas day swim next door in the warm pool.
