Playdough

Alayna got playdough and tools for Christmas.

We play with it almost everyday!

New Year's Eve (a little late)

Each New Year's Eve my Mom and Dad have a party at their house where we celebrate the New Year. We set the clock forward and at 8 pm (for the kids) we count down for the New Year.

Alayna loves the confetti and balloons.  Gideon was concerned why Grandma was letting everyone make a mess in her house.

We even dress for the party,  the noise makers were brought out long before "midnight".

We even had fireworks.  It was every cold for us Arizonans:)

David loved setting up the fireworks.

Polar Express

Monday night we rode the Polar Express in Williams, AZ. We got hot chocolate and cookies.
Alayna we disappointed that we did not get off at the North Pole:( But Santa did come on the train to give us bells.
We spent the night at David's Aunt and Uncle in Williams. There was snow, but it was hard and not fun to play in.

Christmas 2010

 Alayna got an early Christmas present from her Aunt Tracy, a kitten.

Gideon loved his tricycle.

Alayna just wanted to keep opening presents

Gideon got better at opening gifts as the morning went on.

Our family the Sunday before Christmas.  Alayna has a new dress from Grandmas Dent.

We made a Graham cracker gingerbread house.  The blue lake was Alayna's idea.

The kitten made it through the Holidays, which is amazing.  Gideon will hold it upside down and pull her by the tail, and Alayna never will let the kitten down.  Our little Duchess is a perfect cat for kids. 

As for David and I we got lots of fun stuff.  I got the DSLR Camera that I have been wanting.  And David got a gun.
