Christmas 2010

We spread out our Christmas' this year.  Mindy's family was in November in Marcus.  Adam's family was December 18 in Chicago, and we spent Christmas Day at our house with whoever was in the area and could make it.  We had a very nice time getting to see everyone and spending time together.

So, how did it all go?  Well, Christmas 2010 was a fun one.  The boys understood the whole Santa thing this year.  We had the "Elf on the Shelf" at our house for the month of December watching over them and reporting back to Santa every night.  The only thing the boys asked for from Santa was The Wizard of Oz.  Strange for 3 year olds, but they are in love with the movie.  In fact, they are currently watching it for the 5th time since Santa brought it a mere 24 hours ago.  Santa also created a yellow brick road for them leading to the Christmas tree.  They were pretty awe struck by it all.  Hope your family had a fun Christmas season.  Here's some pics from ours....we hope you enjoy!
