Christmas 2012

Christmas morning we spent with the Sturgeons and that evening we spent with the Wilsons.  I'm pretty sure the boys thought it was the best day ever and loved opening and playing with presents.  Some of their favorites were the wood snakes I bought from the flee market in Hawaii, the Angry Bird fleece blankets from Uncle Blake, Ninjago legos from Riri and Grandpa Sturgeon, Beyblades from dad, and the many reptile and animal books from Nana and Granddad.  

Acting out the nativity =)

 We tried to help Doug feel apart of Christmas by skyping with him...I think it may have made it harder for him not to be there, but I didn't want him to miss out completely.

Christmas afternoon we went sledding for the first time and the boys LOVED it!  Doug really hated missing out on this "first" and was sad he missed it. The boys had a such a great time that I actually had the thought, "Maybe I could live somewhere where it snowed if the boys could go outside and play like this."

And yay for the traditional "ROAST BEAST" =) ... yes, we did enjoy "The Grinch who Stole Christmas" and the "Polar Express" at Nana's too during the season.
