Christmas pics

I had the pleasure of being able to have Callie for Christmas this year. Even though she was a bit under the weather for some of it, we had a great time overall.

~Christmas Eve~

These pictures of the lights really don't do adequate justice to the megawatts of electricity that it must take to run them all. This first picture of the street is in Preston, ID(where Napoleon Dynamite was filmed). I'm sure if there was a way to put lights on the street itself, they'd find a way to do it!


Once you get to the north end of the main street you can see a glow on the horizon. This is one circumstance where you want to follow the light! You'll end up at this house:

Obsessed much???

We even saw some fireworks on the way up there- the picture is horrible.













Unfortunately Callie was asleep for all this. She wasn't feeling well. . .

When we got home, I got her to wake up enough to open a present or two for Christmas Eve. She got a nice warm blanket from Grandma Albrecht


I helped her realize that the box with the fun tape wasn't actually the present, but the fuzzy blanket she had tossed aside. She loved it!









She also got a couple pairs of new jammies too, one of which she's wearing in the picture.


~Christmas Day~
Santa brought various toys, books, a cute new outfit. . .

and. . . what could this be???



















a "bike"!














She cried when she had to get off to open the rest of the stuff.

For $2.00 at D.I. you can't go wrong with a complete set of Trouble Tracks! (ooh, ahh) with rompin', stompin' revving truck! It was a winner.














That about sums it up for now!

Too darn cute! I loved the way you made the bike so mysterious with the camo wrapping. I'm sure she never guessed! Fun stuff. She looks like she had a great Christmas. It's a lot more fun now, isn't it? :) Love ya!
