December has flown by as it always does. I was going to title this post "Christmas 2010" and then decided I should just wish everyone a Happy New Year since I'm writing this on New Year's Eve. We have such an exciting social calendar, let me tell you. Chase is in bed, Jesse working and I am sitting with in front of the TV watching a "Back to the Future" marathon with a mug of hot chocolate and the computer in my lap! Jesse should be home just in time to ring in the New Year with me. We are sooo exciting! Anyway, below is a recap of our month in pictures. We clelebrated Christmas with lots of family, including family from Maryland. What a treat! Jesse's brother Stacy, and his family came to stay with us for a few days after Christmas as well. We had a great time visiting and Chase had a blast playing with his cousins.
We took Chase to ride the "Polar Express" train in Grapevine the weekend before Christmas. With his love of trains, we couldn't pass this up. The adventure was complete with Christmas singalongs for the kids and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus! The kids wear their PJ's just like in the story and they read
The Night Before Christmas while the train is in motion.
It's "snowing!"
Mrs. Claus is a family friend of ours, so Chase received extra special treatment from her.
Here's Santa again! Chase couldn't get enough of him!
Here is Chase on Christmas morning. Someone was very good this year!
He understood the concept of opening gifts MUCH better this year. He was a pro by the end of the day! This is the highly anticipated guitar...complete with Woody from Toy Story.
He wouldn't put it down....
I just couldn't resist this picture. :)
Santa also brought an extra special surprise this year. He and his elves were very cold in the freezing rain on Christmas Eve!
2010 was a great year and we are looking forward to an even better 2011!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
