Is it Christmas yet?

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Have I missed the grace period for posting on Christmas 2010 yet? Can I use the excuse that I just had a baby? Or that my computer was stolen by a wallaby? No?

You know I'd just let the season pass un-blog-posted... HOWEVER...

#1 - This Christmas with my family was amazing and I simply MUST make everyone jealous.
#2 - I make a blog book every year and I don't want my posterity to think that we didn't celebrate Christmas in 2010.
#3 - The wallaby is making me do it.

So without further ado. I present to you Christmas 2010. A KRAZY KREBS KRISTMAS. This year my entire family traveled to Arizona to celebrate the holidays. I was so grateful, as I couldn't travel due to pregnancy.

The MANY reasons we LOVED our Christmas.

#1 - Santa brought everything we asked for. Complete with a Craigslist play kitchen/accessories and princess set for Emma. She was thrilled. And way too spoiled.

#2 - Grandma and Grandpa Krebs were SUCKERS and let Emma fall asleep in their bed. One evening Grandma went to check on Emma and found her "playing" with her mascara. Emma's response? "Thank you Grandma for sharing your mascara"

#3 - New Christmas Eve t-shirts. They say "I heart my KRAZY Family". The little ones got UK/Mickey Mouse PJ's. What a beautiful combo. Way to go Mom! Thanks!!

#4 - The Krebs Kid nativity. Quality acting at it's best.

#5 - Using Grandpa as a jungle gym.

#6 - The coveted and annual New Years Eve Family Olympics. This year Chuck and Em were in charge and chose a Harry Potter Theme. They did a wonderful job and my team came in SECOND. Nice work team!!

#7 - Lots of quality time with Mom and Dad.

#8 - Many, many, many wonderful hours playing with cousins. Ben, Tyler, Aliya, and Emma played so cute together. Emma refused to share any toy with anyone, but the other cousins tolerated her selfish behavior. Thanks guys!!

#9 - Lots of relaxing time with Greg.

#10 - Spending time with our new Aunt Emily. She is the BEST.

#11 - The Mesa Temple Christmas lights.





#12 - Bonding time with our new cousins William and Joseph. Just too bad that baby Grant wasn't around to bond with his fellow playmates. These three amigos will be the best of friends someday.

#13 - Getting our money's worth of play ground time. Thank goodness for wonderful weather and durable play grounds.

#14 - Two words. Buffalo Fights. Ben is the KING.

$15 - All the kiddos happen to dress in the same colors for Sunday church. It was too good. We just HAD to get pics. And yeah, we kiss our cousins in Kentucky.

#16 - Going to the Scottsdale Train Park. We waited in line for WAY too long, but the kids loved the play ground and the Christmas lights via train were super festive. The sissy Krebs boys were scared of all the "characters". Not sure it's a good idea for Jeff to dress up as Barney and jump out of their closet each night. :)

We had a really wonderful time with my family. Each night we had a devotional where we discussed our family history. It was a wonderful opportunity. We laughed WAY too hard and ate WAY too much. We miss having the family around. Tis the Season, huh?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
