Christmas memories.....

Christmas is over and I just put away the last of the Christmas decorations.  It is a bit sad!  It was a very special Christmas season!! Sweet family memories were made!  Here are just a few of those memories:  

A couple of the kids pitched in to help me make my yearly Christmas cookie gifts for the neighbors.  There was a lot of chocolate again, but if you know me, you'd know that is just how it has to be!!

The kids were eager to open all their presents! It is so hard to wait! 

 Asha got some classy leather boots (I'm a bit jealous...maybe since she is almost my shoe size she will let me borrow them).  Ha ha! 

 Lana got some some fun Converse!  Pink was her theme this year! 

 Surprise...Luke's new Wii game!  

 Jeffrey is in Lego Ninjago heaven! 

  Gift Card to Forever 21! Guess a trip to the mall is in order! 

 Duct Tape craft kit...this is a new craze! 

 Luke loves his new Crocs...these even have warm fuzziness on the inside! 

 Lana and I made this duct tape purse together!  What a fun craft & gift! 

Those were just a few of the treasures God provided this year for Christmas!  So fun!! 

 On to Oregon... Christmas Day at Opa & Joyce's house!  

 Cousins are super special!! 

 The cool couch...(I didn't add the picture I took of all of them texting on their phones)! Hee hee! 

 So thankful for time with family...and for Joyce opening her home to us! 

 Can't forget our Christmas tree!!  It was a beautiful Noble - tall and skinny - just how I like it! 

Last but not least...our family had a blast putting together this Christmas puzzle.  I think this will be a new Christmas tradition!
