Christmas Day 2011

 Christmas morning was so fun.  My brother and his wife Stephanie came over early along with my parents to see the kids wake up and open gifts.  Mark's mom Connie spent the night with us and the night before helped us stuff stocking for EVERYONE!  We stayed up late and watched the movie A Christmas Story while wrapping and stuffing stockings. 

 Here are both Grandmas.  They are great friends and truly love each other. 

 Here is Aunt Stephanie showing off her new scarf and socks.

 Here is my mom showing off her new hat and bling.

 Connie has never been with us on Christmas.  This was so special for her and for us to have her here.

 I made Ila May 3 new headbands.  This is one of them.

 The kids got Mark a fun puzzle.  They love doing puzzles together.  This one is so sweet because there are 3 little kids on it in a candy store.  The oldest is a girl the second is a boy and the youngest is another little girl.

Lulu and Levi each got a new Volkswagen.  Can you tell who got which one?

Then in the afternoon we all went over and spent the rest of the day at my parents.  They had their annual Christmas open house.  We saw more family, friends and neighbors.  My mom made a ton of food and we just nibbled all day long on all sorts of nummy things. 

This was Ila May's first Christmas.  We had so much fun spending time with family.
