Christmas

Merry Christmas! We had a great Christmas, (or three). We had Christmas with Audrey's family at the beginning of December when grandpa and grandma Anderson and Aunt Llew were in town. We had Bonnie and her kids came over too. It was a full house, but we had a lot of fun.
Then we had our own family Christmas on Christmas morning before we went to church. After church we went over to grandpa and grandma Rygmyr's house for another Christmas (unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of Christmas at g & g Rygmyrs house, even though Aunt Kristen came home and got to meet AJ for the first time.)
Nathan would say after he opened every present "It's just what I always wanted!" It was super cute.
And yes, I did finish AJ's stocking.


We went to Bass Pro Shops and they had a very nice Christmas set-up. The boys had their pictures taken with Santa, then Nathan got to play with their Christmas train.
After playing with their train, any time Nathan was asked what he wanted for Christmas, he would say "a Christmas train and a tunnel".

AJ's first Christmas!

Nathan was so surprised to see that Jeep. He looked at it a few times before he asked if it was for him. It was really cute. We have some video of him attempting to drive it, hopefully I can get it uploaded soon. It is worth a laugh.



Nate got some Lego's in his stocking, and he thought they were awesome. Mom didn't think they were that great. When Nathan opened the package little Lego parts flew all over the place. I'm still not sure we found them all.
Our Christmas cracker crowns.


AJ getting some good grandpa snuggles while grandpa plays with his new Kindle Fire.


Opening Christmas crackers.


Jake flying his RC helicopter that Aunt Heather gave him. He was pretty good at it, and the helicopter was sturdy, it took a couple crashes and kept on going.

David helping grandpa set up his new Kindle. You can see David's present on the back of the couch, a WiFi thermostat (so now we can adjust the temperature of our house when we are laying in bed, we are that lazy).
Nathan got a grabby hand from Aunt Llew, and he was using it to open presents.
We decorated gingerbread houses.


AJ really liked to listen to the "Twas the Night Before Christmas" bear.



Nathan got to put the star on the tree. He was very proud of himself for doing it.



Our finished Christmas tree.
4th CST Christmas party. Santa brought Nathan a Batman helicopter, he thought it was super great.Sorry these pictures are so random, since there were a lot of them I just left them in the order they uploaded instead of tying to move them all around.
