Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve and Jill's birthday at my mom and dad's house. We had our traditional birthday/Christmas enchiladas which were DELICIOUS and opened lots of presents. It was a fun day!

Christmas Train with the cousins!

What a fun evening we had with my brother and Jill and nieces and nephew! We all had dinner at their house and then went to the Christmas train. Fun was had by all!

Hartman Christmas Weekend!

What a fun weekend we have had! Chase had an absolute blast this year at the Hartman Christmas. What a blessing it is to have this time when so many people can get together and enjoy eachothers company!

Chase's first Christmas gift of 2010



Santa came over!!!


Really mom? This guy in the red suit again???


Well...if he gives me a present Santa may be ok...



Mason and Santa


Desteny and Santa


Chase wondering if he has to sit on Santa's lap too...


Is this close enough?? And do I have to look????





Oooookay that's good enough!








Chase was flirting with Summer all Sunday afternoon! He crawled up in the chair and just wanted her attention!




Playing with the toys Santa brought...

Montereau Christmas!

Chase got to see Santa at Montereau during the "Merry Mingle" event. This was Chase's second time to see Santa this year, the first time (at the mall), he wanted nothing to do with Santa, but this time, he actually was ok to sit on Santa's lap...although he still looked very unsure of the whole thing...

Here comes Santa!!!

Chase had his eye on him...

This isn't so bad!

He even got a stuffed puppy dog from Santa. Here he is with Nana scoping out the other kids while they sit on Santa's lap.


Speaking of Nana, she did a GREAT Christmas program with her toe tappers group! I personally think they were the best perfomance of the whole bunch. And I'm not just saying that cause it was Nana, they really were awesome!

Playing in the Backyard

Since we have had our house on the market, we took down the gate that blocked Chase from going out the doggie door. We have a slider that can go in the door, but don't always have it on because Lulu of course has to go out sometimes as well. Anyway, Chase has been enjoying his easy access to the backyard.







Notice he did not put his trains down for the whole outdoor adventure....
