Christmas Morning!

My camera is having serious issues so I didn't get many pictures of Christmas morning. But I can vouch that the kids loved every minute of it. Here are a few pictures.

Evey loved every thing in her stocking. She liked her "dora da pora" toothbrush the most. I talking more then her princess barbies.

Ezra was so excited for his "under water Atlantis city, lego set" The only thing he asked for.

Ole's favorite toy, a slinky!

Evey had to make sure that every single little teeny-tiny piece of tape and paper was off.

All through the house...

 

Treats for Santa.

The Nutcracker

We started a new tradition for us girlie's. The Nutcracker. Evey absolutely loved it! She was the only kid around us that watched the whole thing. When the intermission started she was disappointed because she wanted more dancing. I can't wait for her to start dance. Maybe one day she can dance in the Nutcracker like her Mom and Aunt Kristi.

I have some really great memories dancing in the Nutcracker. The 3 a week practices. The dress rehearsals. I remember feeling like a star, feeling like I had a big part in making the Nutcracker happen. The first year I tried out I wasn't alone. I had my big sis Kristi with me. I was so nervous. I  can still fell my heart pounding and nausea from waiting for Clytie to hand me "the paper." Oh the excitement we all had when you read "Congratulations, you made Clytie Adams Nutcracker." We both made it. I loved that we went to practices together. We'd drive in her silver Leberan(spl?).  Oh the memories! Might I add she is a BEAUTIFUL dancer. I always wanted to dance like her. That year I was a Blue soldier. We both had the chance to dance in multiple Nutcrackers. But my first one was the only one I had with Lou.

 She loves her "Cwara and da Nutcwaker" doll.

Here comes Santa Clause

Oh Christmas Tree!

Ace Duce

I surprised Dave with a trip to Michigan for the Nebraska game and he was super stoked. It wasn't the easiest thing to plan without him knowing but with a little team work with the other wives we got it all taken care of. We booked the tickets not knowing the Nebraska/Michigan game was a very big game. So we couldn't find tickets any where. Luckily for us Janie and Dan were able to pull some strings and got a box seats for FREE. Seriously how can you beat that? Since it was such a big game the hotels were all booked. Another thing we didn't think about. Again Janie pulled some strings and we stayed at her friends house for FREE. So when all was said and done the trip was freakin' awesome! We had so much fun and it was so good to be back in A2. We really miss it there and it was good to see friends and eat at our favorites places. So to say it was fun was a huge understatement. Not to mention Michigan had a huge win. The game was AWESOME!!! Yes I'm yelling that at you :)
