Christmas

We decided to spend Christmas day at my parents house this year. I was first thinking of staying home so we could spend the morning at home and then head down to my parents. However, my wise husband had the thought, "well we are going to be living away from family for several years so we should probably take the opportunity to spend the time with them while we are here". So I totally agreed and we headed down Christmas Eve and came home on Saturday. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I of course did not get tons of pictures, but I know my sister did. So when I get more from her I will post more.

This is the note and cookies we left for Santa. Bristol is really into learning how to write so she wrote most of the letter. I think you can tell where I finished off.

Hanging our stockings on Christmas Eve.
(this picture was really difficult to get a decent looking one. My sister and I kept trying to get her to smile and look cute, but she just wasn't having it. It probably did not help that it was way past her bedtime.)

Bristol in her Snow White costume she got from my sister. I know she does not look happy, but she is really in shock of the great present she got. She wore the dress almost the whole day.

I know we are pathetic with the pictures taking. I hope to get some more to satisfy documenting the day.
