More catch-up..... End of 2011

I'm not sure how it happened but the following pictures are out of order.  
Thais is what I get for not keeping up on my blog.  :)  
I will do my best to keep it organizes without having to go back and reorganize the photos.

Christmas Day 2011

*no one looks very awake
Wyatt, Dad and Seth

What a special day for us and for Wyatt.  It was his first Christmas with us.  All the kids got lots of great gifts from Santa and family.  We had pancakes, eggs and bacon for breakfast and went to church later that day.  It was a wonderful day.



Cali and Hanna waiting for gifts from Santa.


Hanna loves her makeup.



Seth loves the reindeer nose...go figure.  He loves to be the funny guy.


Breaker not so much....doesn't love the nose and doesn't love to be the funny guy. 
But it sure makes for a funny picture.



Hanna loves her socks!!



Wyatt got cars...and for him that is ALL that matters.


And for Seth....Legos are all that matter.


And for Hanna...she ia all about the princess dresses.

The Grovers came to visit us for a few days before New Year's Day and then left New Year's Day.  It was fun to have them here and to show them around Monterey.
