Merry Christmas 2011

Wow! Where did 2011 go? The past 6 months have been a blur and I haven't posted anything about it! I have decided I can no longer just keep hoping to go back and catch up, it's not going to happen. So I would rather start anew and at least return to the world of blogging for record keeping purposes if nothing else. Anyway, enough of that...

We had a great Christmas! Lincoln is getting to that fun age where the magic of Christmas really is something spectacular! Lincoln and Mabry had a awesome time decorating the tree- I mean who doesn't need 5+ ornaments on each of the lower branches!
Lincoln and I also had fun decorating Gingerbread houses with the Terry's. Rachel had her own "Terry Village"!
Santa came for a visit to our house! It was awesome. I think Lincoln was in shock but he quickly warmed up to his unexpected guest. Santa brought him presents and knew quite a bit about him, so it was easy to warm up to the man in red.

I was able to get quite a few of my nativities up for display, not quite as many as my Mom or my sister have up in their houses, but enough that I was able to enjoy the fact that I do have a collection.

Lincoln had a blast being spoiled on Christmas. He had so many presents, he really didn't know where to start. He pretty much got everything he asked for from Santa- except for his last minute request for another DS. :) He said his Daddy needed one to play with! But I don't even think he remembered that request after opening all the fun things he did get!


I think a few of his favorite things are the treasure box from his Aunt Christina (even though we probably aren't going to let him play with it- as it has actual "teasure" inside.) His Mario Cart indoor race track and cars- he loves ot watch them go round and round the track. His "lifesize" Mario Kart racer from Nana Fe, and his EazyRoller form Nana Lac.
