*Favorite Pictures From Christmas*

I don't have much time to write, but I wanted to post pictures from our Christmas!

Playing with the choo choo at Grandma Lizzy and Grandpa Dan's house, was the highlight of Danny's holidays! I'm pretty sure they bought it just for when Danny comes over to play. Can you tell he's the only grandchild? ; )

We decided we better put lights up since we live in a real house now! The pictures of the rest of the house didn't turn out, but I loved my door! Nick took the lights down for me over the weekend and I miss them.

We celebrated Christmas Eve at Nick's Grandma's where it was snowing clean-x! We had a contest who could empty a clean-x box the fastest, and I won one round! I always miss my Spratling family when I can't be with them on the holidays, but I love my Leonard family too! We had so much fun with them this year.


This next line of pictures makes me smile so big.

Danny did very well with all the decorations this year. They were all down low where he could reach them, and not a single one was broken! These little gift boxes were the only ones he was really allowed to play with, so he loved them.




Danny has discovered his belly button!

These three pictures by the tree also make me smile very big. I'm so glad I got good pictures in the five seconds he kept his hat on!
Christmas seemed extra special this year with Danny understanding it a little more, and Aunt Ashley getting home from her mission! The excitement of Nick being home from OCS hasn't really worn off for me either, so that made Christmas special too.
We had so much fun partying with ALL our family, and were pretty tuckered out after it was all done. Merry Christmas everyone!

That is the funniest game. I want to play it! REally i do. I love the pic you caught of Danny in Elf hat and Santa. Oh and the one with the train is so perfect! Love him. I bet that would be so sad after all your lights are down. I was sad when all our neighbors took theirs down. The streets are dark and sad again. Boo. Maybe your electric bill with thank you though. You guys had a ton of lights! They were awesome.

You should post the pics of your lights anyway :) I still don't know what your house looks like. Danny is so so so so so so so so so so cute! You and Nick did a good job :) You should try again :) Haha, just kidding. The pics of him in his Christmas jammies are my favorite. I'm glad he discovered his belly button, 'cause it's cute! Can't wait to see you guys... someday.
