Christmas in Nevada 2012

We had a wonderful Christmas, much different than last year when I had a broken leg and was sleeping in a recliner chair.  The kids are getting so big and with that comes bigger kid toys.  Both Colton and Kinley loved what they got and are very lucky to have such generous grandparents.

 We headed to Toys R Us on Christmas Eve day to pick up a few things.  While the kids played on the train, Daddy picked up some last minute items.

It has become a tradition in the Gant house to make sugar cookies on Christmas Eve for Santa.  Colton  has always loved to help out and Kinley got in on the act this year.

 Kinley right on top of the island and started cutting out the cookies herself.

 

 

The kiddos admiring the tree and deciding which one gift they want to open on Christmas Eve.

Kinley patiently waiting for Daddy to undo all of the wires on her "mommy car."  I swear they make some of these toys parent proof, it takes several minutes trying to get them open!

 Colton opening his gift from Kinley.  We took the kids to the dollar store and let them pick out a couple dollars worth of toys for each other.  They had a lot of fun doing this and it will become another tradition that we will do each year.

 Christmas morning, Colton was so excited to get a train table.  He went right to it and didn't want to stop playing until it was time to open up his gifts.

Both Kinley and Colton enjoy playing with her kitchen.  They like to serve us food and have tea parties.

 Kinley's big wheel and her princess tiara.  She received some dress up clothes and accessories and nearly kept this tiara on all morning.

Colton and his Spiderman bike.  Kinley was ready to try it out as well.

  Playing together....love this picture.

 Happy Kinley with her doggie purse.  Have I mentioned how much this little girl loves girlie things?

We took the kiddos for some ice cream in the afternoon just to get them out of the house.  Kinley had almost all of her ice cream cone all over her face and shirt before she was done with it.
