From Our Front Porch You can See.....: Christmas 2011

Our first visit to Crown Center during Christmas and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

My baking Bean helping make

All of these!

Christmas Eve began at 4:00 a.m. when I heard the pitter patter of little feet go across the kitchen floor. I got up to see what in the world was going on and they were on the couch covered in blankets with a computer between them and they were Tracking Santa!!!

Tracking Santa has been something that we have done for several years but never has it started at 4:00 in the MORNING!!! What is a Mama to do?? I did what every good Mama would do and said track away I'm going back to bed, knowing that they would be dog tired on the night that the Big Man in Red was to appear and I was exactly right!

The kids were wondering what Elvis would do on this last night on Cottonwood drive and I don't think that they ever thought that he would...

Make them look like Rudolph!!

OH ELVIS....You are a funny ol' elf!

We attended Christmas Eve Service and the kids could hardly wait to get home to unwrapped their ornaments and their jammies. They think it is the cheesiest tradition we have but they always love seeing what ornaments they get to add to their collection that one day they can decorate their own trees with.

Reindeer food...

Is never in short supply at the home of the Bressler Bunch

And Christmas morning almost just makes me sad these days.

My days of having a living room full of big things that take up the whole living room are just about over.

Now all they want are expensive electronic gadgets that come in very small boxes and we all know that small boxes do not take up much room.

Caden got his Nook Color that he begged and begged for!

Reece got his Nintendo 3Ds that he couldn't live without!

And Miss Muffet got her Hello Kitty Bike and her Hello Kitty Helmet that she has been talking to Santa about since the middle of October. She knew what she wanted and it never changed from the time she saw it in the store!
