Our Christmas Adventures.

We were all so excited for Christmas to come, and when it finally did, it seems like it just cruised on by. Here are some of the moments we captured.

Christmas Eve at the Smith's: (Our camera battery was dying so we didn't get many)

Nicole had our name. She gave us Rock Band Metallica, an I spy book and a little Tinkerbell for Bridget.

We had Tyrell and Britanie. Josh helped me make a towel rack out of spoons, and Bob helped me make vinyl for a hanging "Smith" decoration. Hope they really liked it.

Bridget was just a LITTLE spoiled!

Christmas Day:

(apparently Bridget wasn't the only one who wanted Tinkerbell for Christmas...I got 3 pairs of Tinkerbell jammies!)

Bridget was also so excited that she had to help Mom and Dad open their presents too!

Christmas Day at the Bartholomew's:

Our gift giving theme this year was "use it up, wear it out, or do without"...So basically we had to reuse, make, or create on our own.

This year our little family had Mandi and Ryan's family. Mandi had given me the idea to make her and Ryan a blanket out of all their old t's. So I had to do something else that they would be SURPRISED about...

So First they opened the kids box that I made each one a beanie out of one of Mandi's old sweaters...Oh, and we gave them the movie "up" so they wouldn't say their present was "stupid"

This was the blanket all finished. (don't look too close, it might fall apart)

And last, Mandi had said that she wanted a picture of the Temple in her house, I randomly took one and had it enlarged. I don't know if she was really excited that it was a picture of the temple, or relieved it wasn't a "dirty picture".

Since we were forced to ruin Mom and Dad's surprise, Mom needed a surprise of her own, so being thoughtful about the theme, we got her some solar lights.

And Dad was super excited when he said, "I can SMELL it!"

Josh had a motor to get his snowblower going. Hopefully it works for them!

Landon had us. He made me a wood clock and gave Josh a manly thing from the man store.

But he made Bridget her own HOUSE!

It still isn't finished, so Bridget and I are going to help uncle Landon work on it tomorrow!

Grandma and Grandpa also made Bridget a way cool doll house and got her some little people and a bathroom set for it. We are also excited to bring that home too!

I think we need a bigger house!!!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas too!
