Christmas!

December has definitely been crazy so this is a month's worth of stuff so it's pretty long.
First off, Dusty got his hair chopped off. It was a sad day but he loves having short hair again.

Is this a dog? No just a year's worth of hair growth!

Much better :)

We went to see James' school Christmas production and although we were far away, if you look close you can see him with his red nose (he's in the blue and white striped shirt in the middle)

We have the kids every year on the day before Christmas Eve so they get two Christmas mornings - lucky things!

James made a cute decoration from the tree and he's very proud of it as you can see.

Time to hang the stockings - trying to crouch waiting for the timer was a really good work out for my legs :)

Christmas Eve morning.....

We then went sledding with the guys

It was freeeeeeeezing but watching the kids was the funniest part - James has no fear and will do any trick if you let him!

I love this photo of Dang it!

Austin made everyone a gift for Christmas Eve which was so nice of him and Kim's was so creative. He made her a jewelry box with compartments and a mirror - good job Austin!

He made stars for all the kids and a truck for Mark.
I love the fox on Tiff's back in this photo...

The kids got even more presents....

Family photo time....

Dusty got this tripod from Austin for Christmas and as you can see in our Christmas photos, it was the best present this year!

Christmas morning with our smaller family...

Christmas kitty :)

Dusty gave me a really pretty bracelet

I was also allowed to have the wrapping paper on the floor the entire day - such fun!

Dusty showing off all his new presents and the gun show.

Our little festive house

Dusty also gave me a thermos flask and some really nice hot chocolate so we could have warm drinks on the go. This prompted a midnight Christmas walk to test out the flask and it tasted so much better in the freezing cold - it was even worth getting frozen legs...........

And burnt lips :)

Yay! It looked like/sounded like you had an awesome day/weekend. Hope your New Year is just as great! Oh, and Dusty's hair looks really good.

James looks so uncomfortable with that nose on it makes me laugh. I didn't recognize Chuck when I first saw him.

I love all the pictures you took with your tripod! You look pretty in all of them! And I really like Dusty's hair too. It looks good on him. Austin is so funny, and clever!

Thanks guys! Dusty didn't think anyone noticed that his hair was short but I guess you did :)

I LOVE the tripod. I'm totally jealous. Especially with all the places it would have come in handy today. Good present.

What a fun Christmas! No wonder it was hard to pose while you waited for the timer - you're still getting used to your tiny legs! I love all your photos:)

I love your red jammies and your new highlights. Can't wait to see it in person. Dusty's hair looks good too. Now we want to hear about Vegas!
