Christmas Morning

Halle and Hunter like to wake up early on Christmas Day. On school days I can't drag their sweet little tails out of bed.

This is what the we got for Christmas this year:

Jason got this most amazing ceiling. He has been wanting one for years. Finally his dreams came true and he received this for Christmas. AHHH. (JK)

I received the most amazing white wall. I had actually been wanting this done for years. My dreams came true too!

Halle was easy this year. She wanted a robe, and dry erase markers. She also received this "UGLY Doll" from Hunter. Hunter made it in her sewing class. I was pretty impressed with her new found talent. Good job Hunter!

Halle and her parents were surprised when Santa left this. . . a frog aquarium. It is pretty awesome. Halle has to feed the 2 frogs 2 pellets on Monday and Fridays. The frogs will last years. NOT! Boss Hog is doing fine, Daisy Duke died a week later. I found out where to get a replacement, no need to worry!

Now that Hunter is taking sewing, she asked for a sewing machine. I think it is so cute. She also asked for clothes. Maybe next year she can make her own clothes.

We always end the morning with Calorie Fest 2010- Crepes and sausage. Yum!

Christmas Eve

Halle always wants the "Low Down".
Halle left a cookie for Santa. With all her questions she should have left a dozen cookies.

Ahhh. Sleeping.

What sweet little angels.

Check us out!

Halle started piano this week. She has promised to practice everyday without complaining! YEAH. She is doing awesome. She has practiced every day this week.

This is Halle, practicing her technique. She is holding a birds nest in her hands. She is a natural.

This is Hunter this morning.

This is this afternoon. Yeah for her. No more braces (for a while). Now she wears a retainer. Yeah for me. How many times do you think I will be throwing that thing away. I will be going through the garbage at least once a week.

Hawkins Family Christmas Party

The Hawkins Christmas party.

We usually eat a lot of yummy food, exchange gifts and reenact the Nativity. The kids love to dress up and play their part.

Jason totally tuned into the family party.

Halle and Maren. Maren is the sweetest little thing. I can't get enough of her.

Halle loves to hang out with Sarah. They are little characters when they get together.

Mass Chaos!

Just think this is only half of the Hawkins Crew.

Robison Christmas Party

We wanted to change things up from our usually Christmas party at Grandma Nan's this year. So, we started at Grandma Nans for a yummy spaghetti dinner.

I think the kids were happy with this choice.

We then went to Thanksgiving Point for a Trolley Ride.

The Robison Family posing in front of the Reindeer. The boys wanted to shoot them after.

Look how much darn fun we are having.

The entire Robison Clan in front of the trolley.

We then went to Grandma Nan's for dessert and presents. We (Kelli) put together a scrap book of our Robison Family Reunion for my mom. She loved it. We (including Grandma Nan) decided she doesn't need anything but we thought the scrapbook was a good idea and she could have it forever.

Hunter sporting her Christmas fashion. Oh my!

I think that this is our new Christmas tradition. Thanks for the idea Brooke!

Christmas Sing Along

The annual Christmas Sing. Hunter finally got to sing "Hot Cup Of Cocoa". That song will stick in your head for hours. She has been singing that song since she was in 1st grade.

Halle was super excited to sing her songs too. I can't remember what they were though. I went with Margot (my friend in crime) to Little Ceasers and got pizza for our kids for lunch. Then we ate the pizza and hung out for an hour or so, so that we could get good seats. Can you believe there were people already there before us. Seriously, get a life people!

Sledding

The girls went sledding at the BEE park with the Barlows.

Cross sledding off the Christmas fun list!
