The really long post that is Christmas 2012...

Our Christmas...2012...

Here are a lotta pics and not a lotta words for your viewing pleasure

Our Christmas season began with our annual trip to Chatham to see Santa...NO tears this year-YAY!!!

 Thank you Pinterest for this idea...didn't keep Jas from undecorating the real one like I was hoping, but it was still fun to play with.

Another annual tradition of ours-
Cutting down our own Christmas tree...

It was a beautiful day



Strongest Man in the world!

The hayride to and from the trees is always the highlight for the kiddos
The finished product


 We took advantage of our membership to Longwood Gardens and went to see the lights...
Can't believe we've never done this before-it was BEAUTIFUL!

We met up with Ella's family for this fun event

They showed us their favorite spot in all of Longwood at Christmas time...
This tall tree that they have circled with lights.
This pic is us standing under it looking up.







And one of my all time favorite annual traditions...
Christmas Eve with the Castletons!!!!  It is always such a wonderful night full of fun
and excitement!





















And finally, the BIG day!  
The traditional picture on the stairs headed to see the gifts!

Let the fun BEGIN!









And the grand finale...
I attempted to make a Prime Rib for dinner...

I would say it was a success!!!!
