Christmas 2010- Baking Cookies with Grandma

Christmas 2010- Christmas Eve


Christmas Eve- Cookies for Santa and carrots for his reindeer.


Sean also got on the roof right before bedtime with a bell and pretended to be Santa's reindeer. The kids were so excited they ran to their beds and fell right to sleep so that Santa could put their presents under the Christmas tree.

Christmas Eve Party- Grandma Donovan playing a game where you try to shuffle a cookie from your forehead to your mouth. It was Hilarious.



White Elephant gift exchange. Merrick definitely got the best present of the night.


Meghan and Fawn- Love them.

Chicken Fighting in Grandma's kitchen. The kids LOVE this game.


Oggie Doggie.


Grandpa Sears playing on the ol grand piano.

Christmas 2010- Grandma and Grandpa Donovan's House


Cool uncle Brandon hanging out with little Memphis. I love Sean's family they are all so great and so great with our kids.



This Christmas was very special because we got to spend a lot of time with Uncle Dustin who just got home from serving a mission in Puerto Rico. We missed him and are really glad to have him close by to us again.

Christmas 2010- Mema and Grandpas House





This Christmas we were able to find a way to fly home for the holidays. I took the kids a little early while Sean stayed back and finished finals and then he came home for Christmas. The very first day we were in town we got straight to work on decorating my parent's Christmas tree. We skipped getting a Christmas tree in New York because we were going to be gone for so long so the kids were really excited to do all of the decorating. The tinsel was a little tricky for their hands but we made it work.

Christmas 2010- The Nutcracker



I know it doesn't seem as if Merrick was very excited in these pictures but trust me he thought The Nutcracker was pretty cool especially all of the fighting scenes. At the end of the show he asked why we weren't in the show and I asked him if he'd like to be in a show sometime and he said yes. He is such a sweet kid and I'm glad we were able to continue this tradition with him.
