Christmas 2012

Another Christmas in Baltimore with just our little family...and we even got a little snow on Christmas Eve!

Our yummy traditional Christmas Eve dinner - filet mignon, shrimp, cream corn, casear salad, and martinellis. This is probably my favorite meal of the year.

It's so fun to have Savannah play carols for us.

Noah's Christmas Eve meltdown, well, not so much fun!

We always read from the scriptures and The Night Before Christmas.

Christmas Eve jammies.

Leaving some reindeer food on the front lawn...don't want to forget Rudolph and his gang!

Early Christmas morning, waiting to come down the stairs and see what Santa left. He did not disappoint!

Monster Fighters Lego Castle for Xander,

knights and dragons for Noah,

Monster High School for Savannah.

David decided it was time for the kids to have guns so they each got their very own BB gun. They were pretty excited!

Upon receiving his Death Eater wand, Noah turned to Xander and said, "I am your follower!" (Xander is the proud owner of Voldemort's wand.)

I love that the kids always get each other gifts.

The look on Savannah's face was priceless when she opened the art sets from her Grandma and Grandpa Schaeffer...she LOVES to paint!

Noah received his very own DS which means no longer does he have to just sit and watch Xander play. And playing is what Noah did for most of the day.

Another fun Christmas although we always miss family.
