Christmas Day

On Christmas day after gifts from us and Santa, the kids played with all their new toys, while Dad took a nap, and mom cleaned the kitchen, and made some food for our dinner gathering. That afternoon we headed across the street to spend the day with our *Framily*. We had way to much yummy food, and the kids had a blast playing with all their new goodies.

Here is Dot and Minnie, Best Pals! Mrs. B was being crazy so of course I had to take pics. =)
Getting dinner ready.

We took pics of each other taking a pic. Dorks I know!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this year, and the true meaning of Christmas shined brightly in your homes! We are so thankful for the birth of our Savior!

Santa came

Santa spoiled our kids this year. They were not expecting their wish list items at all. =) He was the most shocked of all. Look at that face! Loves his new Xbox 360. Santa also brought him 3 games to go with it!
Minnie got a Pink DS, with a LPS case and stylus! Lps Game too!

She also got a pretty *A* necklace.

She thought this sucker was too cool!

Their stockings were filled with candy! Mom has already made an appt. with the Dentist to get their teeth cleaned. =)

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning we had pancakes and sausage, and apple cider for breakfast. The kids then opened their presents from us. We spoiled them a little this year, as it had been a rough year for us, and we just wanted them to know all their hard work was noticed.

Stitch got the basketball hoop, he had been wanting. Minnie LOVES Littlest Pet Shop (LPS). We got her the house and animals.
A whole bunch of games had come out the last few months. This was on his list.

More LPS.

He wanted one of these so bad...We call it his Old Man blanket! It is TCU so that makes it cool!

The LPS adoption center.

She wanted Hot Wheels and a track.

I have no idea what he is opening but he seems happy!

Gift from Stitch, he got her LPS bake center

Clothes she wanted for *Baby Hannah*

We saw the Nutcracker earlier in Dec, and Minnie loved it. Grammy got her the book and CD, which we listen to non-stop!

He has been wanting this game!!

She LOVES everything Ballet!

He was going to buy the Basketball game about 2 weeks ago, I had to keep telling him to wait for Christmas!

Boo busy at work, we got her tons of Pony stuff, her new favorite thing!

She was THRILLED!!!!!!

Giving Grammy some love!

Thank you to all our family for the wonderful gifts. The kids are truly blessed!

Ice at the Gaylord Texan

Our Ice experience was not at all what we thought it would be. We heard great things about it.

The girls dressed warm and ready to see the exhibit. It is 9 degrees inside the exhibit. My beautiful girl all ready to go
Boo sitting on top of Daddy*s Shoulders, while we wait to get in. She did not want her pictures taken, so I had to be quick. I did get some super cute ones, I will post on her blog. Check them out. The Dimas family . You can click the link on my blog. =)

Minnie posing with the outside decorations. =)

Stitch and Grammy, You can tell he is still somewhat sick, but he was feeling a lot better. =)

Waiting in line with Grammy.

The girls were exhausted, and hungry. We waited in line for over an hour. We finally got to the section where you watch a stupid video. Boo and Minnie had to rest, as the line and movie are all standing, so yes that was over an hour of standing. We were all very agitated by now. Good thing Grammy complained, an we got our money back. At this point no one even wanted to see the exhibit, it was after 7, and we had not eaten. We also just felt it was so disorganized.

Finally got our parkas on that they give you. Then in the exhibit we went. We were herded like cattle there were so many people, and it was hard to get pictures and to see anything. Glad it was free, as this would have been a very expensive night of cattle herding. The tickets I think are a rip off!

Minnie and Grammy

Looking through the ice wreath, it took me forever to get this picture, people where everywhere.

Boo and Minnie

Minnie with a Snoopy character. It would have been fun to take your time, and really see the exhibit and all the detail.

Stitch and Grammy, we were waiting while Minnie and Boo went down the Ice slide, that was another 30 min wait. =) But of course we had to let them go.

Boo went down and there were so many people I could not get her picture but I did get her right after. Pure excitement on her face.

I shoved my way through to capture these ones. Minnie going down.

She said it was so fun!

Ice sculptures, being tall is a good thing, you can hold your camera above peoples heads to get pictures. =)

Sweet Minnie

Handsome Stitch

Stitch and Uncle Beast going through the Ice cave.

It was really cold towards the end. Hence the very smiley faces. =)

This was my favorite part! A nativity scene.

The girls in Snoopy*s dog house

I guess we had some fun! Just glad we did get our money back, as I didn't feel it was worth the price. Something we will remember though.
