Christmas Vacaction 2011

I know, I know, I am super far behind but I am going to try and get caught up for reals now. I had to give a talk yesterday in church and I didn't want to try and get on here and update until it was over. But, now that it is there is going to be a picture overload over the next few days.  

We went to Rexburg again for Christmas this year and we busted out the ping pong table this time and had some fun games and some around the world tournaments. Loved it! 
 Christmas Eve, opening her Jammies.  Christmas Eve evening we went over to some family friends and had dinner, played games and sang some carols. Saylor was even brave enough to get up in front of the 40 people that were there and sing a solo of Twinkle Twinkle. I was shocked and very proud of her. I never would have dared to do something like that.
 Say and Casha in their new Christmas Jammies and opening their (well really it's for me, Zach gets me a new Christmas book every year and we open it on Christmas Eve and read it) new Christmas Eve book.  Grandma Fuller made them their pants (and all the other grandkids).
We made these candy cane cookies on Christmas Eve together as a family and then those are what we left out for Santa Claus. 
 Christmas morning before we started opening presents. Saylor was so funny when she woke up. She was so excited but she started looking all over for the presents again that she had asked Santa for, and she was just sure that they were both under there (a purple horse and a doll house). Well Santa didn't wrap the purple horse so she saw it right away and wanted to start riding it, but first she started looking around for her doll house, saying that she knew it was there. 
 Say opening her stocking presents. She was just plowing through it all. She didn't even care so much what was in the gifts, she just loved opening gifts.
 Say wanted to ride her horse with right away and wanted Zach to ride with her (the black one is Casha's but she was still sleeping). Zach just woke up, can you tell? :)
 Casha got these glasses in her stocking.
 Say kept asking where her doll house was the whole time and we didn't give it to her for awhile and its a good thing we didn't, that is all she played with after that, just setting it all up. But this is her finally opening it up, she was so excited.
 Casha LOVES babies so Zach's Mom got her this one. She loved it, even though you can't tell from this picture. She didn't let go of it forever. I think she was trying to figure out what all the chaos was because she had this look on a lot of the time :)
 I realize this isn't the greatest picture but I wanted to remember this was the year that my sister Holly sent us a really cool Nativity set from Egypt. It is awesome and I was/am so excited because I don't have one. Its a wooden one that is hand carved. Love it!
 We went bowling with my family again this year. Zach bowled with the girls the whole time.
 Me and some of my sisters.
 We played a charades type of game, this group was acting out So You Think You Can Dance ( I think.)  We always manage to have lots of fun when we are with my family. (If we ever saw Zach's I am sure we would have lots of fun with them too)
