Christmas 2011

I seriously cannot believe it has taken me this long to upload Christmas pics!!  Anyway, we had a wonderful Christmas, the Larson's & G'ma & G'pa Heinrich came to DM for the weekend.  The kids had a great time opening gifts together and checking out one another's toys!  They are at such a great age for all things Santa Claus.

Christmas afternoon we all headed to Aunt Sue's in Cedar Rapids to celebrate with the extended family.  Let's just say, gifts, gifts & more gifts!  Mia is obsessed with her Hello Kitty microphone & Barbie Dreamhouse, while Sam is way into his train set.  The kids all got snow shovels and sleds from Santa, but no chance to use them yet!  I guess I'm not really complaining :)

Sleigh Ride

Oops, I mean Wagon Ride.  Well, it was supposed to be a sleigh ride, but since we have NO snow, we opted for the wagon ride instead!  It was still a great Christmas Eve day to be out at Jester State Park, enjoying the surprisingly beautiful December weather!

Twas the week before Christmas

We had a great week leading up to the Christmas holiday!  I kept the kids busy by sending Mia to gymnastics camp at Chow's (Shawn Johnson's gym) here in WDM.  Both of the kids blew off some stem with friends at Pump-it-Up.

G'ma & G'pa Heinrich, Aunt Noelle & Great G'ma & G'pa all came to DM on Thursday to celebrate Christmas.  We had a great visit - gabbing, eating, playing with the kids and opening gifts!  Thanks for making the trip up - it was great seeing everyone!
