Christmas in a nutshell

Since it is almost February I decided I better get some Christmas photos up on my blog or they may never make it up. 

We had a great Christmas. We were SPOILED by our family and really enjoyed being able to spend time together. 
 On Christmas Eve the kids like to leave "reindeer food" so the reindeer will find our house. But every year they fall asleep on the way home so we end up putting it on the lawn for the reindeer.
 The kids at the top of the stair anxiously waiting to come see what Santa brought.
Our traditional coming down the stairs pose. Wow they all look alike!
Santa brought Charles the Smurf dancing game for the Wii and Madison got a new back pack.
Claudia was excited to see Mrs. Potato head waiting for her and utensils in her stocking.
 A few years back I made quilts for each of the kids and had to carry on the tradition, so above you see Claudia sitting on her quilt.
Daddy in the background looks more excited about Claudia's car than she does. But it's actually become one of her favorite toy. 

I got more photos of Claudia than the other two because they just wouldn't look at me.

After we opened gifts and had breakfast we got ready for church. It was nice that we only had sacrament meeting. 
On the way to my parents house we stopped at the Garthe's for a quick hello. The kids had a hard time just stopping by, they wanted to stay and play. 
Then we headed to my parents house for more presents and good company. 
The kids were very spoiled at the Anderson house this year. 
As the day was winding down daddy, Janelle, and the kids enjoyed playing twister. It was pretty funny to watch, especially since daddy is not very flexible and Madison does not know her left from her right.
