Christmas 2011

Christmas 2011 was awesome!  We celebrated the birth of our Savior in grand fashion!

What made it particularly grand is that we got to share it with family in Reno (O'Neals and Schindlers) as well as family from out of town, including AMNT, Grandpa T, Grandma Linda, and Andy Pop.

Although it was not Maverick's first Christmas, it was kind of like his first Christmas since he could barely keep his eyes open last year.  Traveling the birth canal really takes it out of ya.

Christmas Eve, some of the grown ups went to church.  Then we took some photos by our tree and went over to Grandma and Grandpa O's house for fun visiting, a nice dinner, and a little dancing with AMNT.

 

 

Christmas morning, we celebrated at our house with a Christmas Casserole Extravaganza Brunch and Present Opening Bonanza.

Mommy also tried to get Christmas Karaoke going.  After playing karaoke jockey and singing on her own for what seemed like an eon, she was finally able to coerce some of the ladies to sing "Santa Baby" with her.  That's one of my favorite songs.  I love to think about Santa as a baby.  I really like the song "The Baby is Cold Outside" too.  If it were up to me, I would bring that cold baby inside and give it a hug!

The rest of Christmas day, we relaxed and had fun with family and our bounty of new toys. 

It was a wonderful celebration made extra special by those we love.  Hope you all had a great Christmas 2011 too!
