Growing up taking ballet, there were many years that I danced in the Nutcracker. For the last few years, Brianna and I have gone to see the Ballet and it really puts me in the Christmas mood. This year we went to the Hult Center in Eugene, just the two of us. We went out to an exotic dinner then did a little shopping and off to the show. Brianna loved it and I love doing this with her!
Anticipation for Christmas this year was almost unbearable for the kids this year. They did great staying away from all the gifts under the tree. Tucker did open a few early that I had to re-wrap! We had Brian's parents and sister over for Christmas Eve and had a lot of good company, food, presents and fun!
Look at those faces! Excitement

Still excited and crazy - even after lots of gift opening and staying up later than usual. We tracked Santa online and it said he was getting pretty close so it was a rush to read Rudolph and set out the milk, cookies and carrots. It was a foggy night so the kids knew for sure that Rudolph would be guiding Santa's sleigh. 
Brian and I waited a few hours and then got all ready for Santa's arrival. He was very generous this year and brought Bricen a gas powered Motorcycle and gear and Brianna a mini dauschund
and all the goods to go with her. It was a very exciting night with much anticipation from all in the house!
Christmas morning was one I know I will never forget and I don't think Brianna will either. The new puppy woke her up in bed, she was so shocked that when she went out to the tree to see what else Santa had left, she didn't even notice the motorcycle! She ran into our room in disbelief that it was really a real puppy. She named her Lily and it was love at first sight.

We got her the Barbie Salon and when she opened it we said we were really hoping Santa didn't get her it also. She said deep down she had wished for a puppy and that Santa knew. It was just perfect!
Brice was so excited that he got a motorcycle that runs on gas. He said "I didn't even ask for one that runs on gas" After the initial shock set in, he got on it outside and thought it was pretty cool.
He is a complete natural on the bike! He puts his helmet on and is able to steer it and make it go pretty fast. Faster than I care to watch! He breaks and turns it too! Our area in front of the shop is his new track. He will stay out in the cold for a really long time so he can keep on riding it.

What a cute little motor-crosser! Owen has a PW 50. We will have to get together for a "race" (aka push the boys around till they are brave enough to actually start the bikes). what a sweet little family you have!
