Christmas with the Larsens

The whirlwind of Christmas is over,  precious handmade ornaments wrapped and put away, the tree empty of all twinkly lights stands in the living room...(it just smells sooo good I can't seem to part with it quite yet)  It was a busy time, but busy doesn't mean not full of wonderful moments of peace and love.  How lucky I am to share the holidays with people I love soooo much.

Here's a highlight reel of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the Larsens...

Goodness me... how many Christmas casualties did you have this year?

The numbers seem to grow each year!  

Thank goodness for the GLUE GUN!

Christmas Eve with Uncle Sean and Amy... 

BBQ food from Zoogs and Cherry Pie!

Dinner done RIGHT in my opinion!  

Arrrrr!

They make a lovely pair!

I got my eye on you son... 

Watching Santa tell the story of Roudolf's birth...

One totally EXCITED kid here... like Santa didn't even need to come now... He was set! 

Bobbie, Grandpa and Aunt Michele spent the entire evening with us via Skype!

This is Colten showing Bobbie his new truck

Technology is incredible!  

No Christmas get together would be complete without being dive-bombed by a remote control helicopter right??? 

Ahhhhh! Duck and Cover!!

It hurts believe me I KNOW!

Ben is prepared though... 

Bobbie insisted that we do a group shot...

What a bunch of weird-ies.....

Getting ready for making reindeer food!

Ben was upset that he didn't get to sprinkle both bowls of reindeer food... "you mean I have to share with brother???"

OMG SANTAS Been here!

Ahhhh it's late... I'm sleepy

The happiest boy eva!!

Paired with Papa's homemade rounds... the perfect BEN gift!

From Nana Kathy with LOVE! haha!  

I'm lovin the Red Duct Tape!

Totally worth all the work though right?!

Christmas dinner was spent at our "local" family's parents house

I hope Grandma and Grandpa will be inviting us back after all the crazy kid shinanagins..

A sweet pup... 

Annie giving me a hard time for my 2 slices of pie and 2 helpings of ice cream.... 

DONT JUDGE I was "sharing"

Some left over reindeer food "clean up"

Santa is the BEST! Let me say every house with a 5 year old boy needs one of these!

You can always box better when your Naked... right?!

Adorable... makes my heart sing! 

An amazing Christmas... Spent with Family, Friends and our critters.

I'll explain to you why this Christmas was especially special and wonderful in my next post... 

Hugs to you all...
