Christmas 2011

I know, I know! No one wants to see any more pictures of Christmas. I am so sorry, but a girls got to post what a girls got to post. All of those with faint hearts, you can just skip this post, because I am not breaking it up. If I try to break it up, I won't post the other pictures because when Christmas is over, it is OVER. :)

We went to CA to see Chris' family. Henry and Grandad watched Cars together.

 Mom, Dad and the girls made a gingerbread log cabin.

This one couldn't wait to try out her present. She stayed on those skates for 5 hours solid. She weathered fall after fall like a champ. Roller derby: watch out!

The gift Charlotte always wanted
 This boy loves his Lightning McQueen



Post Christmas visit to Disneyland, can you feel our excitement!

 We fought past the mad crowd to see our princesses!





 Oh, the naps!
 Small World







The day before departure was spent at this lovely beach with cousins. 65 degrees! Heaven.






 The jeans fell victim to...well I think you know.




I didn't take these and of course they were the best ones! I am no photographer. These are from aunt Caryn.

 Aunt Caryn and Uncle Brett have 4 boys!! We were schooled on Lego Star Wars, battles with...crap. I can't remember what they are called. I will ask Lane and edit it later. Anyway, lots of fun boy stuff, we loved it! Lane really was in heaven!

 Andrew: king of the mountain
To close up the night we ate at the Beachcomber Cafe; it was delicious. Man, I forget how much colder it is out west when the sun goes down!

Thanks to all of the Cherry's who helped us have a wonderful time. The kids were so happy and we have been trying to convince them that MD is where we should live ever since we got back. :)
