Christmas 2011

Finally, our Christmas 2011 pictures! It was a really busy day. We were up at the lake for a few days with Dan's family, opened presents with them in the morning, drove back home, opened a few presents there, and headed to my family's place for dinner and the last of the gifts. Whew!  

A little Christmas elf.

 Decorating...and eating a gingerbread house. An m&m for the house...an m&m for Lola.

 Our stocking were hung by the chimney with care.

 Santa found us at the lake!

 Enjoying some hot cocoa and Andrew's famous whipped cream before breakfast.

 Lola painted a picture frame for Uncle Andrew.

Saving the best for last: Beca and I were spoiled with jewelry from Jack & Linda. Beca got a Mexican ruby and I got my first Ellensburg blues!

Taking a break from opening gifts.

 Back in Spokane. Smelling Bub's new Birkenstocks.

At the end of our crazy day, Lola opened her last envelopes from the advent calendar. She was excited to find baby Jesus. Check out her undies. Santa brought them to her :)
