Remnants of Christmas

I took down the tree yesterday because frankly it's been a huge mess! It died two days after we got it so it's been dropping needles for weeks. When I took the tree out I could not believe the mess! There was a huge trial of needles all the way out to the door. I think I filled up half of the bag on the vacuum cleaning it all up! I love having a real tree but next year we may have to reevaluate real vs. fake.

Christmas

Carson and Alaina with their haul from Santa and Mom and Dad. What fun Christmas can be!

Dear Santa

Carson wrote his first letter to Santa this year. For those who have a hard time reading it I'll translate. The letter says "Dear Santa-Optimas Prime" with a picture of an Optimas Prime toy he say at the store this week. So in other words he wants an Optimas Prime toy for Christmas. We'll have to see what happens in a few days.

Superman Cake

the latest cake was for my nephew's 3rd birthday.

O Christmas Tree

The dangers of decorating the tree. Carson stepped on an ornament and cut his foot. He wasn't too upset...as you can see.
Carson's side of the tree
The first year Alaina put decorations on the tree. This year she understands that Christmas means presents. It's so fun when the kids start to understand what Christmas is and join in the festivities.
