Christmas Festivities

Ryan's school performance.

She was soooo excited

and taught all the songs to Logan.

The two of them have done a

fine job

of keeping our house in the

Christmas mood

with their singing.

I was flying solo that night

and got most of the performance on video

for Daddy.

Hence the lone picture.

But I love it.

It really captures all her

excitement!

I couldn't keep this lil guy from

'harvesting'

my ornaments.

Caught in the act!!

He would try to be all
stealth
by going behind the tree,
but the sound of tinkling ornaments
being plucked from the tree
was hard to miss.

Christmas Eve.
I love the way the house feels at Christmas time.







The books from our
"Christmas Book"
advent calendar.



Gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
My mom and I searched high and low for the
perfect containers.
I love how they look!




Happy lil Snowman.

Taking it all in!

This is exactly what I loved

to do when I was a little girl.


Christmas Jammies!!!

The lil Norts

favorite

Christmas Eve tradition!!

Christmas Morning.

Santa brought everyone in the family a

sleeping bag!

We're 'beefing up' our

camping arsenal!

Watch out!

The Nortons are going camping!

Investigating the stockings.

Jackpot!

Someone loves his

Hippo Walker
(Fox joined the festivities about an hour late.)

"Logi" heaven.

Bubba got this small

'Cars' tent.

He climbed inside with all his presents

and spent a good portion of the morning there.

I think he was just thrilled to have some

'Bubba space'.

I kept rolling up the flap,

thinking he would want to see out,

and he kept unrolling it!

Norton Family

Christmas Morning 2010

I love our little family!

Chris and I decided we want

Christmas

for our family

to be about

'experiences'

and not

'things'.

This year was a

home run!
