More Christmas!

This weekend we celebrated Christmas with my mom and dad. We had a great time with lots of wonderful presents, family, friends and great food. Below is our annual family photo along with other highlights of the weekend:

More Christmas photos

Well Santa arrived as scheduled and as you can see, there were plenty of Christmas gifts!


The favorite gift this year was the pink guitar from Santa. She played and sang songs for us all day!


She also got a baby that runs a fever:


And a High School Musical playhouse:



Here is Vivian and Uncle Ryan:



And with Grandma and Grandpa!


Here is our little family out by my new car!


And finally, our annual family photo. It was a wonderful Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!!

I'll be back with more Christmas photos later but I had to share pictures of my Christmas present right away. My wonderful husband really surprised me this Christmas. First, I bought myself a new camera lens before Christmas that was supposed to be my present. But Rick surprised me with another lens that I have been wanting too. I was thrilled. But then, we all went outside to look at my present to Rick, a wagon to pull behind the lawnmower, and there, sitting in the drive way is a car with a bow on it! A new car for me - a Jaguar! I was shocked. It is gorgeous!! Here are a few photos!! So I got Rick a little red wagon for Christmas and he got me a Jaguar! LOL! I'll be back with more photos of our wonderful Christmas after lunch!





A request has been made for a photo of the side view of the car and of Rick's little red wagon. So here ya go!

Dance Christmas Program

Tonight was Vivian's Dance Christmas Program. She did a tap dance to "I Want a Hippopatumus for Christmas". She did a great job.

Here we are before leaving for the program:


And this is just a gorgeous photo I managed to capture of Vivian.


Here's the little dancer:


And here she is taking a bow!


And finally, the two best friends have to pose for some photos together after the program!

A few new pictures of my niece

Here is Autumn, meeting Santa. She doesn't seem to sure about it, although she let him hold her Dora book!


And here she is in her room decorating her own Dora tree!


And finally, just some cute photos enjoying the fall weather!

I Love Christmas time!

I just love Christmas time! The lights, the Christmas songs, the pretty clothes, I love it all. Tonight we got dressed up and went to the ballet with Linda, Presley and London. Vivian looked gorgeous in her pretty red dress, as did Presley and London. We loved the ballet and had a wonderful evening!








Rick has caught the Christmas spirit this season and keeps buying new Christmas decorations for our house. Our latest addition is this train that goes round and round the Christmas tree. It is really cool!


And finally, here is Vivian at her second visit to Santa Claus. This year she has requested a pink guitar and a Barbie laptop from Santa.

Angel

Vivian was an angel in her school Christmas program this year. She said "Once upon a time" and sang Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and "Oh, Come all ye Children". She looked like an angel and did a great job!




Here are the 2 best friends with their matching angel costumes and bears given to them by their teacher. Don't they look angelic?
