Christmas 2011

We had a great Christmas this year! It all started at our home and Brooke left cookies out for Santa. The next morning the girls woke to bikes and a kitchen! Brooke was so excited she said "a new kitchen for me and a bike for Avery"... We then opened some family packages and played all morning long.

Christmas Eve afternoon we headed to Great Falls to see the Belote Family. We got ready for Church and were able to hang out with all the cousins that night. The kids played and the adults had some yummy Tom & Jerry's! Oh, and we had GG's famous claim chowder (Nice Job Lexie)!

The next morning Santa came again with a small gift and stocking filled with lots of fun. We opened some more gifts and had a great Breakfast. Then early that morning the Belote family came and we opened all the packages with the kids. It was craziness but fun!
