Christmas 2010

I don't know about you, but we had an awesome Christmas this year! Lots of Xbox Kinect fun and boy was it fun for Jackson this year!

I think I was more excited for him to open his gifts then anything. Tanner is just way to young for it this year, but he was definitely cute sitting next to the tree!

On Christmas eve, Jeff and I were laying in bed talking about Christmas's when we were kids. He had asked me what was my favorite Christmas as a child? I had to think about it for a while because I couldn't remember a favorite Christmas other then one and it was with my dad. I spent Christmas Eve with my dad and Christmas Day with my mom and her side of the family. The one Christmas I remember the most was when my dad surprised me with a 4 wheeler. We had so much fun riding that day and I thought that was the best day ever! As a child we never got to get out of bed and open gifts. With my dad I got to do that, but at my moms we had to wait all day until everyone got there. Sometimes that wasn't until 4 or 5 in the evening! So lame and probably the worst thing ever. Till this day that's how it is.

So now that I am married and we have our own family, I so look forward to getting up and opening gifts in our PJ's. These are the best Christmas's and there are many more to come.

On the other hand, Jeff said he had many favorites! His stories of their Christmas's would make anyone want to spend it with the Blaufuss Family! He said his mom Kathy was the best at hiding gifts and till this day he still kind of believes in Santa! lol

One of his favorites was when he got a new stereo with the 4' speakers. He wanted that so bad and when he got up he didn't see it until he was told to go outside! So Kathy, if you are reading this, you did an awesome job playing Santa!

However, Jackson was way into Santa this year and making sure he got his list right. He first started out wanting a dirt bike and a drum set. Then it turned in to a toy truck with a boat and trailer like papas. He also wanted an Iron Man hand. After he finally figured out what he wanted we went to tell Santa! Boy was he excited and he made sure the BIG guy got it right! I think he told him 3 times what he wanted!

When the big day was near the only thing he wanted to leave out were carrots for the reindeer. I had to remind him that Santa needed some cookies to give him some energy for his long night! lol So we left out some oreos and a little bit of milk.

He are the letters that Santa sent for the boys this year. Jackson must be on Santa's good list because he has gotten one of these every year now!
Here is our Christmas tree this year. I wanted to get a picture of it before all the opening started the next morning.
Then I started to play around with the tripod and the night options. Not to sure how to work my fancy camera, but I thought this turned out pretty good. I think it looks pretty!
Tanner's first Christmas and his very first gift! Thank you grandma Kathy!!!

The one thing that Jackson has been and really wanting this year was a flight suit just like Jeffrey's. We ordered it in November and we couldn't wait to give it to him! He doesn't look very excited about it, but he was. He just didn't want to take a picture!

Papa and Tanner watching Jackson open all of his gifts! I think papa needed to go back to bed! lol

Jackson checking out all of his cool little gifts in his stocking.

Jackson getting ready to tear in to the gifts, but before he could we managed to get him before we made a mess!

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a Safe and Happy New Year!

Love,

Jeff, Cindy, Jackson & Tanner.....
