Christmas 2010

This was the first time in at least 4 years that all the six siblings were together at my parents house in California for Christmas. It was a packed house and getting ready for 9am church the day after Christmas with 16 people was a challenge but we all made it. Even my dad went to church for the first time in a long time.
All Greysen wanted Santa to bring him was a Sally car that could slide down his 'cars' ramp. It was so cute. I convinced him that he also wanted Santa to bring him a woody doll with a string. When we ask him what Santa brought him he says, "blue snacks" which is code for fruit snacks. He didn't care about the toys but boy was he excited to get his blue snacks that is an occasional treat.
Santa came on Christmas morning as a surprise. Greysen thought it was pretty cool. Presley was a crack up. She saw Santa and was grinning and giggling like crazy. She was shaking she was so excited.
Reese and Presley sitting on Santa's lap. They are the opposite of Gavin who doesn't want anything to do with Santa. When his mom Lauren asked him what he wanted Santa to bring him he said, "I don't want Santa to bring me something. I want Santa to bring you a pillow pet and Thomas trains and then you can give them to me. This is the second year in a row he has not been a fan of Santa. We'll see what he does next year.
Jada wasn't afraid of Santa and had a grin from ear to ear.
Greysen was super excited to get a dinaco helicopter. I kept putting it away and all day he would say blue copter and do the sign language for helicopter.
Here is Greysen and Mommy with his woody action figure and sally car.
Greysen loves to read. He got some classics in his stocking. His most favorite book these days is "mother book" which is what he calls, "Are you my Mother".
Greysen got a Mickey Mouse Pez that he was pretty excited about. He loves Mick and the rest of the Mickey Mouse clubhouse characters.
Here is Reese, Presley's older sister. She is a little more reserved while holding the hampster and she is such a sweetie to Greysen. Greysen just adores his cousin Reese-E.
This is Presley. Becky and Brian's youngest girl. She is such a doll and so good natured. She loved holding Rylee and Peyton's hampster on Christmas eve.
Christmas morning with aunt La La, Gavin, and Bop bop. Greysen got a Buzz Lightyear for Christmas and Gavin was a little envious. We put buzz in Greysen's bed because the kids were fighting over him. Gavin would go in our room and exchange his prized trains that Santa brought him for buzz. It was making me crack up. Fortunately he got to go 2 days later to the store and buy his own buzz.
