Christmas

Andrea was able to visit with four Santa's before Christmas came.  One at the mall...

One at the Ward party....

 

One at her dance party....

At one at Stockton Miner's Cafe, which I did not recieve an email of like I was supposed to :(

Each one she asked for a trampoline, princess dress ups, and a ball. 

 

Christmas morning began with breakfast, since Ryan and I were up before Andrea and were getting bored, so I started cooking.  We had our traditional chocolate chip pancakes, but this year I added bacon antlers and made them raindeer pancakes, an idea coutesy of Pinterest.   

Andrea got loads of gifts, mostly princess toys and books, but also an outfit, dance clothes, and dress-ups, we figured she had enough balls, so Santa eliminated that request.

 

Sadly, we did not get a photo of her and her trampoline, we have a video, but it won't upload to blogger.  Santa had left a note in her stocking that one present was in the backyard because it was too big to fit down the chimney.  I think she had actually forgotten about the trampoline because she couldn't figure out what it would be. 

 

Here are some photos of some of her other goodies and mine and Ryan's as well.

After Christmas morning was over we cleaned and got ready to go to my parents for Christmas lunch/dinner. I'm always mad at myself for not taking more pictures, we didn't take any at my parents or Ryan's parents on Chirstmas morning.  But it's so nice having my parents back in town, it was a weird couple of years not going to their house on Christmas.  We are so blessed to have family close and love that Andrea gets to remember celebrating Christmas with all of her grandparents!
