Merry Christmas!!!

Chris got a double-banded Christmas Goose this year!  Supposedly double-banded geese are very rare - we are all very excited!!!

We spent Christmas Eve-Eve at Grandma Toussaint's house.  Unfortunately I forgot my camera :( but it was great to see everyone!

Christmas Eve we went over to Papa's house.  Ollie & Ivy were very patient before opening presents.

Finally it's time to open presents!!

Papa got a zip line!  Ollie cannot wait to try it out!!!

I got a new Otter box for my phone and some adjustable dumbbells!

Ollie got some superheros to put together!  He loves that kind of stuff.

It was a castle Christmas for Ivy.  She got a Little People Princess Singing Castle and a Barbie Princess & the Pop Star Singing Castle! 

Here's a pic of our street with all the milk jug lanterns.

Santa's been here...

Ollie was so excited and got lots of new toys!

Bella got a chicken flavored bone!

After presents at our house we went to Maw maw's.  Ollie had to be very patient until Ivy got there!

Ewww...stinky underwear!

What little stinkers...I guess they are tired of getting their pictures taken.  Then my battery died so no pics from Aunt Barb's house either

:(

Oh well, it was a wonderful Christmas filled with lots of love & family!

Cookie Day 2012!!!

Sunday was Cookie Day!!! We started baking first thing in the morning!

Ollie unwrapped a whole bag of kisses...not sure how many he ate!

Time to put them in the peanut butter cookies...

Aunt Erin and Ivy arrive next.  They are going to make stain glass cookies with sugar cookies and jolly ranchers.  Ollie got to crush the jolly ranchers with a sledge hammer on the back porch.  He loved it!

Aunt Patti & Laurie arrived with the cookies to decorate!  Everyone arrived in the morning this year...we got an early start!

Time to decorate!

Aunt Patti is sticking little bitty kisses onto the back of nutter butters with regular kisses to make them look like acorns.  Talk about patience!

Lots of cookies!

It was a perfect cookie day!!!

Tonight we decorated gingerbread houses at Maw Maw's  house!

Beautiful!

Ollie cannot resist taking a bite out of his house.

Good job Ivy!

Ivy liked to eat the candies.
