Bet you thought I forgot, but how could I? The excitement over Christmas has been building for months. Threats of no Santa gifts, completely ignored (although I made it clear that Matalley was not getting the barbie jeep she asked him for...she picked up Lola one too many times and even if it hasn't stopped her from doing it, she at least hesitates a few seconds). Grayson even left a note for Santa at our house so that Santa would know to leave the toys in Denver. "Dear Santa, I know you have noticed our stockings are gone. We will be at YiaYia and Bompa's house. Please visit us there."Even though we missed out on a white Christmas in Amarillo, we had a great time. This year, Brady requested a Charles Dickens' Christmas dinner. Mom kept saying, there is a reason noone eats yorkshire pudding anymore. It wasn't quite as easy as the traditional turkey/ham and fixings but it was definitely memorable and quite delicious.
Even Lola liked it.

Ellie's turn?
A sledding session
Matalley's first run down the hill was very successful
I tried a run by myself
So did Matt and this is the result
Which meant Grayson had enough. Mr. stubborn refused even with the promise of a dollar and some hot chocolate.
Matalley enjoyed it though
And Grayson finally made another run with some major convincing. He wanted to make sure I knew he went.
