Christmas Day

We had some beautiful weather on Christmas, so we spent a good part of the afternoon outside trying out the new toys and seeing what Santa brought the neighbors. Isaac loves his new train. The engineer must push a button for the train to be in motion and he's got it down!
Uncle Ben was competing with the children as to who could jump the highest. He was so proud when he won. I said I would post the winner on my blog.

Our neighbor Lauren got a Barbie 4-Wheeler for Christmas. Grace poses with her Barbie Jeep.


Uncle Ben goes 100mph down the driveway video-taping his adventure.



We had a delicious Christmas dinner. Sid grilled our beef tenderloin to perfection. We had homemade red-skin mashed potatoes, beans and carrots, fresh-baked bread, homemade apple-salad, cherry pie and pumpkin pie. So much to be thankful for.

To end our Christmas Day we got the kids ready for bed, popped some popcorn, threw them in the car and checked out the best Christmas lit-up houses in the area. This home is my favorite- the lights are synchronized to music.

This house has more "stuff" than 10 Home Depots could ever sell. It was amazing to see.


This home actually broadcasts music over a radio station and the lights are synchronized. Amazing. All of these homes give me much to strive for!
Grandpa and Aunt Holly gave Grace a clay kit to make animals. It's really neat. Here is what Grace and Uncle Ben accomplished.

This is what Grace accomplished on her own!
