Christmas Recap and all that Good Stuff

Happy 2010 everyone! We had a fantastic Christmas and holiday season...probably the best one we've ever had - our kids are at such great ages for Christmas and it was magical - despite them waking up at 3:00 a.m. Christmas morning, it was so perfect. These pics aren't in any order, but here's a recap of what the Huff Fam has been up to in the last month:

Spencer posing by Grandma's Tree - he looks so grown-up here, I can't hardly stand it.
Lizzie is known for her goofy faces - she loved her polka dot bathrobe she got for Christmas...if I would've know how easy she was to please, I would have not bought half the stuff I did (do you love the panties on her lap...silly Santa always puts new socks and panties in their stockings)

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without wrestling with Grandpa on Christmas Eve - the kids love this "tradition".

The girls checking out each other's new Baby Alive dolls. Lizzie's is a boy and is anatomically correct - it's a little bit disturbing how detailed it is!


Spencer helping Calli with one of her gifts

The Huff cousins - the kids love their cousins and have so much fun with them!
Our house decorated for Christmas - I guess our night vision isn't so hot on our camera.

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without singing around the piano with Grandma Ruth - we have a fabulous steak dinner then songs (and wrestling) around the piano.

This picture for me captures the joy of children at Christmas - Calli was so excited to open whatever she was opening - I'm so glad I caught this image!

The kids at Ogden's Christmas Village - it was a fun night!

It was announced by Spencer that this wasn't the "real" Santa Claus, it was just a "helper"

Very shocked that she wasn't screaming at this point, it was a good experience for Calli!

Lizzie burst out crying when Spencer said it wasn't the real Santa and sobbed for 5 minutes, she was positive it was the real Santa!

I learned how to make homemade eclairs and made them for Ben's Holiday open house at Edward Jones - Calli couldn't keep her hands off of them!

Calli can't keep her fingers or hands out of any treat - I guess that why she's 2!

Carol I loved looking at all your Christmas pics I can't believe how big your kids are getting! So fun to see their little faces on Christmas. The Eclairs look delicious I want that recipe. Thanks for posting We Love Your Family!

Awwww! Look at those cute kiddos! Your eclairs look amazing, do they take 4ever to make? The only recipe I have for them takes forever...that's why I very rarely make them (usually for Brian's birthday) I would love to have yours!
