Christmas 2010

Christmas this year was so special and we felt so blessed. Words cannot describe the joy parents feel when they watch the joy of Christmas through their child's eyes. What a special time of year it is!!!

Here are a few highlights from

Christmas 2010...

A few days before Christmas Santa came and visited our house. It was so special to have the Arnolds over, with newest addition Lily and my parents.

Christmas Eve

So excited to start opening.

A skateboard and of course helmet.

A play slide and climber complete with attached basketball hoop.

Christmas Morning

Christmas Afternoon

Mike's parents house

Aunt Rachelle and Bruin the Bear.

The day ended with a family nap. What a wonderful Christmas :)

Lazy Boy

Lucas loves his lazy boy recliner. It is so comfortable! Mike and I wish that we could fit in it.

Santa Baby

This year was Lucas' 1st trip to see Santa. He was super friendly and not afraid at all. He just sat on Santa's lap pointing at all the stuff that was going on around him. After his turn was done Santa handed him a candy cane that was super yummy.

Christmas Transportation

Mike did a great job decorating our golf cart. The pictures do not do the amount of lights justice. We are having so much fun driving it around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights each night. Hopefully this 5 days of rain that have been happening/forecasted will be over with by Wednesday and we can get in a few more rides before the Christmas lights come down. And yes, Mike's hat is not just for the pictures he insists on wearing it everytime we go out :)

Thanksgiving 2010

We had a great Thanksgiving!!!

We had two great meals and spent time with family. Family makes the holidays so enjoyable and special.
