Christmas 2010

Caroline and Daddy's gingerbread house.

 We celebrated Christmas with Weezie and Grandaddy and got a big surprise!

 They got their very own Barbie Jeep and have been riding it ever since!

 Daddy and Grandaddy even put a Northcutt Realty tag on the front!

 To say the girls were excited would be an understatement. Look at the hugs Caroline was giving out in thanks!

 Every year the Auburn cousins draw names for gift giving. This year, Caroline received a dress up trunk from one of the Chase cousins. She loves it...high heels especially!

 Then it was home to make cookies for Santa.

 And celebrate Jesus' birthday. Thank you for our star cake GG!

 Enjoying some birthday cake and milk. A good sugar high before trying to get to excited girls to bed. Ha Ha Ha!

 Placing our cookies, carrots, milk and notes for Santa by the fireplace.

 The only word to describe Christmas morning is FAST! We opened our stockings in lightening speed and then it was off to the basement to see the big present Santa had left...a playhouse!

 Then it was off to GaGa and PaPa's house Christmas Day afternoon.

 GaGa and PaPa could have gotten away with giving Kate a box and that styrofoam popcorn and she would have been content.

 But Caroline was all about anything and everything "baby doll" this year! Thank you for the new stroller Lei Lei!

 And my all time favorite present (even though it was technically for my sister) was the wonderful gift Tony gave to Kara.....a plane ticket home from London when the baby is born. This is a picture of Tony showing Kara the flight voucher on his I-pad. She gets to come back to the states for a whole week once the baby is born and I am more than thrilled!!! But to give Chris some credit too....he was actually going to fly Kara home as a Christmas gift to me, and realized that Tony had had the same idea. :)

 Lovin' on Malibu (my sweet dog since 10th grade). Maybe one year I'll convince Chris that the girls need a puppy for Christmas. They LOVE dogs!!!

 Then we were off to GG and GG Williams' house (the great-grandparents) for gift giving.

 And of course, no trip home to Ponte Vedra would be complete without a trip to the beach.

 So we went twice!!!

 We just played in the sand and looked for sharks teeth, but there were actually people lying out in bathing suits this day. 

 And for record sake....good old St. Nick (below) was our only casualty this year. He suffered from a broken hand when Kate decided to play "baby doll" with him. Luckily, Daddy was able to make him good as new with the help from some super glue! I thought we did pretty well only having one casualty and two toddlers running loose. 

 Happy 2011! We look forward to bringing home a new brother or sister in 4 short weeks!
