Christmas 2011

We had a great Christmas this year.  It was nice to have a chance to relax with family and be thankful for all we have and all we received.  Miles was really excited about Santa coming and about opening his presents and seeing all his cool new toys.  Iris, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with opening presents.  She gave lots of stink eye and shoved us away when we tried to encourage her to tear the paper and see what was inside.  Maybe next year!

 All that remained of Santa's cookies by morning!  Note the dinosaur to the left of the plate.  The Imaginext Apatosaurus.  That was the one thing Miles asked Santa for.  We'd seen it at Target many times but put off getting around to purchasing it until it was gone from every store in Utah.  The cost for it to be shipped by Amazon just a few days before Christmas...a cool $112.  Fortunately, Grandma and Grandpa saved the day by finding the one store in Utah that had one in stock!
 She perked up a bit when she got her hands on some cool new toys.
Iris and Bella at dinner.  We don't usually let the cat join us at the table, but she managed to sneak up in hopes of scoring a scrap of  Honeybaked ham and they looked so cute together!
