Christmas 2010

Sorry this is so late but here are our Christmas pictures from 2010 and the kids' first time skiing!



Christmas Eve in front of the tree with Christmas jammies on!


Leaving cookies and milk for Santa!


Christmas morning Stocking time!



Paige with her Stocking!



Opened Santa gifts before breakfast. Paige got a fuzzy desk lamp!



Santa gave the boys PaperJamz guitars!
(Mom and Dad later gave them amps for them. Really amps what was I thinking. Hahaha)



Grandma, Paige and Mommy usually wear antlers for the first part of the day. Actually, I must admit I (Angela) don't always wear antlers but Paige and Grandma get them each year so I get the hand me downs from the year before!



Ready to open presents!



Opening gifts at Grandpa Joe & Grandma Pat's house.



Our annual Christmas picture in front of the Jolley's Tree with the Jolley boys!
It's cute I looked through Auntie Brook's photo albums and each year we have been in town she gets a picture in front of her tree. It starts out with Paige as a little baby and Brook and her Hubby Chris and now it's just my 3 kids and their 2 boys. Hmmm next year maybe it will be 6 kids (not from the Crothers side)?!




Tim took Paige and Simon skiing for the first time. He had them take an hour class and then hit the slopes. Even up the ski lift and down the mountain. They did great and both picked it up quick and loved it! Nixon and I went sledding while they skied.


Simon all ready to ski!



Paige ready to ski!



Instead of pulling the sled back up the hill with the rope Nixon was determined to carry it all the way back up and he did! We had a lot of fun.



New Years Eve!!! Welcome 2011! I bought funny hats, horns and glasses to make it even more fun this year! The kids love to stay up til midnight, watch the ball drop, toast sparkling cider and watch all the fireworks around Grandma and Grandpa's farm. It's pretty neat they have windows all around the living and dining room which face 3 sides of the house and people all the way around set big high ones off. Not sure how they do it each year since it's illegal but they do and we enjoy the show.
