Christmas Days of 2011

Stayed with Gma Marie and Gpa Norman this year for Christmas due to Jo asking to be around more family for the holidays.

The Christmas Dog Bone Cookie
We have enjoyed doing a cookie decorating contest the past few years and continued this year with a dog bone cookie.
The participants this year besides the BS Family, Gma Marie, Gpa Norman, Cousin Derian, Rachelle & Connie.
The final cookies!
And the Christmas Cookie Winner!
Derian and her Hawaii theme.

With more cookies left the next day the kids decorated again and came up with the creative idea to use smaller cookie cutters for some outline shapes.
Though I think Cole ate more frosting than actually made it onto his cookie.

Christmas Eve
Cole and Jo opening the gifts to each other.
Jo: Littlest PetShops, Cole: Star Wars book and action figure.

Christmas Morning
Can hardly believe I had to wake the kids. And even after I woke them they didn't move until I said "Merry Christmas". Then their eyes popped open, I hear them say "OH YEAH," their faces cracked  a large tired smile and they ran into the front room to see what Santa brought them.
From Santa? Cole: Skateboard, Jo: Rock tumbler.

Could I have one picture of the three of you please?
After this picture I said: "Wait, did I get the shot?"
Kids: "You only asked for one." (and they walked away)  LOL

Oma opened her Cotton Candy maker.
Or is this for Jo?  No, it's Oma's, however Jo will be by her side every time she opens this box!

Turducken:

It's what's for dinner!

Todd bought one of these birds (or rather three birds in one) for our dinner this year.  It was quite tasty and could feed a family twice the size that was gathered this year!









 

Gpa Norman, Cole, Jo, Gma Marie and Doug.
Busy three days, we were all very happy and tired!
Merry 2011 Christmas BS Groupies!
