{Christmas 2011}

Chris woke us up Christmas morning bright and early. After he checked to make sure Santa had come, Aniston and I came to see what Santa had brought...
Pretty sure she couldn't believe her eyes!
Aniston kept saying "this is the best Christmas ever!"


Checking out what Santa stuffed in our stockings...




Aniston helped both Chris and I look through our stockings, and she was a great helper when it came to opening presents as well.
{our family, Christmas day 2011}

Santa brings 3 gifts to represent the 3 gifts the Wisemen brought Jesus. When a friend told me this was her family's tradition, I made sure Santa got the memo that our family wanted to make this a tradition. Santa brings a toy, a game, and a Christmas outfit.
Princess Yahtzee!!
Christmas outfit!
Aniston was excited to see what Santa had brought Chris and I too!
After we opened the presents from Santa, we got all ready for church and headed out. On our way, we saw people from our ward driving away from the building. I thought church was an hour later than it really was, so we missed it(I should have listened to Chris).

We turned around and went home and continued to celebrate. We ate some breakfast, opened our presents from each other, and played a few rounds of Princess Yahtzee.




Then, Grammy, Papa, Christian, Stefen, and Bri came over for lunch and presents. Aniston was really excited to see all of them and show them what Santa brought. Both Aniston and I were equally excited when she opened these press-on princess nails from Grammy! Chris helped her put them on...







After we ate some delish and festive food...

Shelbi, Scott, and Elsi came over and we made gingerbread houses/boats...




Stefen's engine for the boat...
