Christmas Part Two

After a great few days with the Schneiders, we headed north to the Cotas!
We had a nice Christmas Eve dinner with everyone!

Then Avery was busy working on a note to Santa!
She decided the reindeer would probably like some tomatoes and carrots again this year!

We were pleasantly surprised when Avery woke up at 7:30! :)  Not too bad for being sooooo excited!
And THANK YOU Santa!!!  He knew exactly what Avery wanted!  She couldn't believe she got just about everything (she only asked for 3 things....) that she wanted!!!  Way to go Santa!

And Annalise loved the toothbrush. :)  It's the little things!

Then it was on the Santa presents!!!
Love the look of TOTAL shock on Avery's face!!!!  Like...."how did he know????"  I just love the innocence and joy on Christmas morning. 

 

Thanks to Grams and Gramps for all of the great presents, too!

Annalise LOVES Big Blue!!!

 

After a break for a while....the Dietzs came up and we opened some more presents.  Seriously....the girls were SPOILED by EVERYONE this year!!!!  We had a great Christmas day!

After the Christmas wrapping dust had settled, we went to Deer Park bowl and did some bowling! 
Avery was THRILLED that she out-scored her Auntie Lori by one point!  Way to go Avery!!!  (Maybe it was the practice she had with Grandma and Grandpa earlier in the week that gave her the edge!?!)

It was an exciting week in Spokane!!!  We LOVED spending time with all of our family.

But it IS nice to be back HOME.

Here's to a healthy and happy 2010!!!!!
