Another year has flown by. 2010 brought a lot of changes. We moved yet again cross-country to Washington state just in time for the holidays. The ONE good thing about moving at that time is that our Christmas destination was a mere 5 hour drive away, gone are the days of 6 hour flights, and for that I am excited. I will miss the east coast and the memories are fond, but we are west coast people and being closer to all family is important.
With this all said, here is a glimpse of our Christmas 2010 courtesy of Nana and Grandpa in Portland, Oregon.
MY engineers hard at work, the engineer-in-training double-checking the degreed engineer ;)
Trimming the tree, our first live tree, at our house. Dear Grandma, Mommy was an abysmal steward of the tree, she'll do better next year.
Very excited for Christmas, the energy in our house was more palpable than usual.
Yes, that is child-labor. No, they did not have to wrap their own presents!
Last minute Santa cookies with Uncle Jordan!
Very excited to set out Santa cookies, I think she's got the concept down.
Charlotte and Woody
Lo, and behold the pull-string!
Another boyfriend of Charlotte's, Buzz Lightyear
Yes, we finally bought enough "clickies" so little girls aren't struggling over one pair.
Cougars forever! Cougar shirt # 2 was a big hit!
Magnet Doodle excitement
Thanks for getting up early to share with us Uncle Adam!
Hanging out in Christmas jammies, I couldn't resist giving them early. and Yes we're still wearing them. Every morning Charlotte asks for "no-mans", as they're too warm for bed.
I've heard from a lot of friends who are also parents that having kids makes Christmas magical again, I couldn't agree more.
Two of the best gifts I've ever received, and I didn't even have to wait for Christmas.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a wonderful 2011!
