Christmas 2011

The annual Candy Trains family night!
This year we had the Jensen family join us. Love you guys! Wooo wooo!

The night before the night before Christmas. I love this picture of Wade and all his little girls. He is so lucky - and so are they!

Christmas Eve Day: Ice skating with Dad and Grandpa.
Where was mom? Sick in bed.




Matching Christmas Eve Jammies. My very talented friend Natalie whipped these up for me. The girls LOVED them.

Even the baby got to match her sisters!

I hesitate posting this picture...but I must. HIDEOUS - yes. COMFORTABLE - yes. As usual comfort wins...Wade knew I would secretly love these...and I did!

I'm always so busy trying to record home movies that I forget to take pictures...
Here are a few. We will all suffer in the future watching Caillou over and over, but she was SO excited. It's worth it.

Janie and Addi asked Santa for American Girl Dolls for Christmas. He didn't bring them. We thought for sure there would be tears Chrismas morning, but to our surprise, the girls were very happy and grateful for what he did bring. These dolls were the last two presents under the tree (from Wade and I). The girls couldn't believe their eyes! (We wouldn't want Santa to get all the credit now would we?) :) I don't know if there will ever be a Christmas to top this one. All the girls are at such a fun age. I love being a parent on Christmas morning!

We were so happy Grandpa and Grandma were able to join us for the festivities.
I think we wore them out!
