I will start with Christmas.
The weekend of Christmas was very eventful. The night of the 23rd we went to the Christmas Train that is put on by Victory Camp Railroad Co. and Living Stone Church in Alvin TX. Just about 20 min. from us. It was a nice night! We rode the train, while snacking on popcorn, that went past fun lights and nativity scenes and gingerbread houses and more!
After the train we just had to take the kids to see Santa because they COULD NOT stop talking about him and were so excited! The last time we took Cole to see Santa he was 6 months old and Avery has never been so there expectations were high! It was our turn and both kids got scared! Neither one would sit on his lap. We tried with Cole and he just cried. Glad we didn't pay to have a professional picture taken before hand! After that Cole would say he didn't want Santa! Sad!

Friday night, Christmas eve, we went to Galveston to see the Festival of Lights. That was a COLD night!!
Before we hit the lights we went to see a 3D movie, Santa vs. the Snow Man. The movie itself wasn't that great but it was cute watching the kids and fun for the new experience. We don't usually do 3D movie's. It was so funny watching the kids try to grab at the objects as they got close! I couldn't stop laughing!! They both actually left their glasses on threw most of the movie! Avery decided right at the very end that she didn't want to wear them any more. Oh well.

On our way to the lights there was a performer doing a bunch of crazy stuff with fire! It was pretty impressive!
Out of all of the lights these are the only ones we took pictures of! So sad! You can see what is important in our lives. SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS!
we could get of Cole and Avery!

Finally Christmas day!
Christmas morning me and Tom got up a little before Cole and Avery so that they wouldn't get up and start open presents before we were ready. We decided to go threw our stockings quickly so we could enjoy that part without the chaos. I got done with mine and Tom had started when we heard Cole coming down the stairs. We didn't want him to come down without Avery so we had to stop him and go wake up Avery, which wasn't very hard. Cole was so excited he ran into her room screaming "Christmas! Christmas!" She was up instantly!
We said we were only going to get them each one big present and a couple smaller but of coarse that is never how it ends up! They were spoiled! Christmas is so much more fun now that they are both older!
Yes...that is an egg plant!
Later that day we had our friends, the Stratton's, over for our traditional Christmas dinner, Sukiyaki! As always Tom did an excellent job! It was delicious!
After dinner my sister, brother-in-law and nephews came to hang out.
We watched Despicable Me and then went to bed, after everyone went home that is. It was a very wonderful Christmas!
The company minus a few people
Sorry about this video being sideways
but it's too funny not to share!
(Funny to us at least)

Dayna your kids are adorable! I can't believe how big Avery has gotten. She's not a baby anymore. Cute kids! Oh, I wanted to let you know that you inspired me to get rid of my facebook account. I never forgot your post of it basically wasting a lot of your time. It took me a long time after you but I finally did and I owe it to you! Thank you!
Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas, and your kids are so darn adorable! I miss you tons, and next time you are in Utah, let me know. We HAVE to get together--I won't be a bum next time. :)
