O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!  This year it was the same as last year and the year before...Ho, Ho, Ho, hum.   I like it, but one of these years I'm going to have the energy and foresight to plan ahead and shake things up a little.  But then again, who am I kidding?  There's something to be said about tradition, right?  Being stuck in a rut actually makes it really great for set-up--by now the kids know exactly how it goes and many hands make light work! 

Christmas morning, waiting for Dad to turn on the lights and see if we had any visitors of the elf variety in the night.  Alli's face cracks me up.  Nice acting job!

Lauren got perfume and clothes--interesting use of the belt, don't you think.  That girl has an eye for fashion!

I'll bet you can't guess what Calvin got for Christmas.  He was so cute in it, he didn't take that off for the whole day--even when we went to visit Grandpa and Grandma Clarke for dinner.  He still gets up in the morning and puts his helmet on before he does anything else in the morning.

Lindsay got more Zhu Zhu Pets!  Soo fun!

Now Dad really is an Iron Man!  Cool! 

Think Lauren's happy with her new jeans?

Oh, Alli.  Happy Girl!

Sweet solor panel robot kit for Calvin! 

This is what was happening at our house all Christmas morning...Madden '11!

And a lot of Just Dance 2'ing!  That's fun even if you're just watching!
