Christmas 2010

Our little family had such a fun Christmas this year.

Hayden finally understood about Santa, and was desperately counting down the days until he would come.

She is so sweet, and more excited about giving him a present and cookies, 

than him leaving presents for her.

Carter is just so fun, energetic and actively curious that we just had a non-stop little party!

Here are some pictures from our Christmas week.

They uploaded backwards and I didn't want to take the time to re-arrange them 

so you get to start with the after-mess and end with the prep!

Hayden vacuuming in her new princess dress and heels.

Thanks Grammy Hunt for the beautiful Pink Princess ensemble. 

Hayden also got to dress up as a Fairy Princess!

She HAD to put it on the moment she opened it.

Just getting down stairs to see our Christmas wonderland!

Carter jumped right on his new bike!

Thanks Nana Jan!

Getting ready to head downstairs.

Both kids had ear infections, and weren't feeling very well, especially Hayden.

But as you've already seen, they perk up pretty quickly when they start opening presents.

Santa came!

1st taste of Martinellis.

Sugar cookies for the fat man himself.

Hayden's 1st frosting masterpieces.

I think she ate more frosting than she spread on the cookies.

Carter loving his best buddy Jack.

Hayden and Ryan headed out to try to build a snowman.

I LOVE these guys!
