Christmas 2010

Santa did stop by, and we all had a wonderful morning.

Even the kittens enjoyed it!  Thanks, Grandma Bobby for the catnip mice!

Twas the night before Christmas...

and all through the house, not a creature was stirring.  Not even a...

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

Over the river and through the woods

I had a couple of days off the beginning of the week and we drove down to Dyanne's place.  We had a wonderful time.  There was a Christmas party with a whole house full of family.  Lots of laughs and love.

There was also some morning cookie decorating.

Who are these happy people?

Hey Santa!

We had to make a trip to Spokane yesterday, so took some time to stop and see the jolly fella.

We got there a few minutes before he did so had only a short wait in line... it was, however, a bit too long for Ben and he ended up locking his legs and passing out.  Unfortunately, we all thought he was just goofing around and we failed to catch him.  He fell, ultimately hitting his head on the tile floor, though we were lucky and it wasn't too hard a hit.  Anyway, I can sympathize with his lack of smile.

Here is a more candid shot where Ben is describing they type of nerf gun he would like Santa to construct.

Santa asked if there was anything else they wanted to say/ ask.... Ben asked if he used some kind of magic powder to help the reindeer fly.  Santa replied, "Yes."  Then Ben asked if he could have some of that.... and Santa laughed and said, "No, but that was a good try."  Then they shook hands and bumped fists. 

It made my day.
