A Christmas at home


We spent this Christmas at home. We have normally gone to Las Vegas to spend the holiday with Grandma Marshall. Which meant Tad and I had big shoes to fill. She always spends alot of time and energy to make everything perfect for the family. We gave it our best shot, and had so much fun, in the process. We made candy cane cookies for Santa.... We wrote our letters to mail off, and got letters in return.




















Christmas Eve dinner was homemade lasagna with everyone helping.






Even Tanner jumped in to help....




























It was time for our Christmas Eve present, our PJ's. Then time to set out the cookies for Santa and the crew. We got to know Prancer this year because he came to our house every night for a week before Christmas dropping by goodies and reminding the kids about the real meaning of Christmas.



Tanner loved his Wii game from Auntie Sarah...Wii music was a huge hit.



This year I tried my hand at sewing, nahhh I out sourced purses for the girls, and Grandma Marshall Made sure we didn't miss out on traditions, Tad opened his pistachios and just beamed from ear to ear. Torie got a snowboard and tara opened an itouch from Santa.





Tanner, well what more can we say than 2 thumbs up from Biggie on his helmet!















We then took a trip to Glamis and managed to get my whole family to the top of Olds. In true tradition on my side, I The Ice Capades were part of our plan...... It was a great holiday for us!
