SANTA!!

What a Christmas!  Between the parties, food, wine, gifts and cookie baking, I am completely stressed out and worn out.  But, we had an amazing holiday with our amazing families and friends, including a cute little blond elf that made it all worth it.

Here we go, the wrap up of Christmas 2011:

This year's Christmas Eve celebration was a big one.  Caleb came to town for the holidays, and the four of us joined my mom and dad, my brother and sister-in-law, Jessica's parents, and her brother and sister-in-law for an early dinner.  We had a great dessert and opened a few presents at Sean and Jessica's house after dinner.

We started off on Christmas morning with gifts that Santa left.  A kitchen complete with food, pots and pans and appliances.  Santa even knew that Caleb was going to be at our house this year, and left him some gifts too!

Next we moved on to gifts from the Weatherby side of the family.  Kendall got loads of Minnie Mouse gear and a new table and chair set from Meme and Papa Steve, a dress up set from Uncle Tony and Aunt Nikki, and clothes from MeMa.  Caleb also got clothes and new games.

Kendall and Caleb even got matching hats.

 
My mom and dad, Sean, and Jessica joined us for breakfast, and then we moved on to even more presents from the Corson side of the family.  An assortment of toys for the little blond elf, and a Kindle Fire for Caleb.

We played and played with all of our new toys throughout the day.  It was so neat to watch Kendall open her gifts with enthusiasm and excitement.  She took her time with each new toy and played with everything.

We headed over to Gram and Dude's house later in the day for dinner and dessert.  Our longtime family friends, Barry and Marlene Ross, joined us, and so did Jessica's mom and dad.

Finally, here are our attempts at family photos:

We hope that your Christmas was as memorable as ours was!!
