Reagan is really enjoying having Daddy home for "Christmas vacation"

Horsey is always a favorite

Brock & Reagan got this trailer for Christmas and I can't get them off of it.

Every morning Reagan wakes up and goes straight to her tent to watch Sesame Street.

Off to the movies

Daddy surprised us and took us to the movies to see Princess and the Frog.

Thanks Daddy for our special date!

After everyone opens their Christmas presents we all meet back at grandma's house for a Blinkinduffies breakfast. Later that evening we get together for dinner at a family friends restaurant and eat some more of course.

Reagan, Laken, & Corrin

Laken & Reagan

Here we all are just waiting for dinner to be served.

The kids love having the restaurant all to our selves and getting their own fountain drinks.

Let's Eat!

EZ & Gavin

My favorite part of the night is the white elephant gift exchange game. Inevitably there are tears every year. Unfortunately this year they were Reagan's. Those kids just can't grasp the idea that someone can come take their present away. Brock and I have fun working a way to get all the best gifts.

EZ and cousin Cody. They kind of look a like too. Maybe it's the new Christmas haircuts.

Easton's 1st haircut

I don't know why Christmas day became haircut day but his locks had to go. I tried to just give him a trim but of course he wouldn't sit still. So out came the clippers. He looked so cute but I was so sad to see his first little hairs gone.

As always he did great. No tears.

Merry Christmas

Easton's 1st Christmas. Merry Christmas Buster!

Yea! Santa did come!

"Look mom." "Santa ate the cookies!"

Time for stockings

Reagan checking out the new tent

Lap, and great G & G Newman

He did bring it! Reagan asked Santa to bring her sparkley tights, sparkely shoes, & a sparkley dress. She found it hanging on the back of the tree.

What a beautiful princess

Me and my babies

Brock got this great truck for EZ with all these great contraptions! He loves it but I think Brock played with it more Christmas morning than EZ did.

Here we in our Christmas PJs

Reagan saw these sitting on the table put them on and said, "Do I look like Grandpa?"

Christmas Eve in Apple Valley

Easton and cousin Gavin followed this walking, singing Rudolph all over the house.

Reagan was so enamored with this little glowing nativity that grandma had at her house. She would sit like this and look at it all the time.

Uncle Lap was spinning Easton and Reagan around in this chair. They loved it.

Just hanging out waiting for Santa to come deliver his gifts.

Easton watching the train. When he wasn't watching it he was trying to pick it up and put it in his mouth.

Reagan, Corrin, & Laken spinning on the chair.

All the girlies with aunt Norma.

Brock and the boys

Uncle Brad was handing out all the gifts to the kids.

At preschool Reagan made some magic reindeer food that you sprinkle all over your yard to attract Santa and his reindeer. Here they are out in front of grandma's house making sure Santa knows we want him to stop here!

Reagan picked out some cookies and a carrot for Santa and Rudolph. Grandma gave us a special Santa plate we can use every year for Santa's cookies.

Reagan told grandma that she needds to turn off the fire so that Santa doesn't get burned. Here they are opening the doors and making sure it has cooled off enough for Santa.
