Christmas morning...

this is what sheer excitement looks like...

(sorry these cut off)

griffin always played football with the

checkers from the connect four game,

but now he has an actual field and players :)

anderson was sooo excited about his remote control excavator!

collier got a little necklace kit that daddy helped her put together...

i have been quite thankful for these helmets...

we even got to see some snowflakes on Christmas Day!!

griffin got some "real" football shoulder pads,

and for the first few days he even wore them

during dinner and all regular activities...

collier got an art kit that she loves!

we celebrated with my mom on christmas day,

but unfortunately poppy was sick and not able to join us...

other than that it was such a wonderful day!

when we got to celebrate with michael's family,

collier loved helping with sweet emma,

and tyler was soooo sweet to let her :)

 and of course all the cousins had a blast!!

 collier loves having a buddy her size now...

 so blessed to have these sweet cousins...

i promise that was the end of 2010!!
