Matt had put a request into Buddy his elf that Santa should leave his gifts at his tree this year. This along with the request that Santa clean his room for him were part of a test for Santa and Buddy. Luckily I was within an ear shot of this conversation. So you can imagine his confusion now.... And buddy has magically disappeared leaving his less real looking cousin Sfven to do the job of watching all year long.




 Christmas was a hit. The big gift success besides the clean room, the balloon animal maker and dart board.

 We hosted Christmas night dinner with Aunt Jen and Uncle John.
 Cousins enjoying the Christmas feast. And the candles of the center piece.
 Being a great helper as always!!!!
 The boys had lite up the luminaries for the night. I love the way it looks.
 Wouldn't be a party with out a fire pit.  Again, Arizona Christmas is amazing. James is in a short sleeve shirt.
 And what little boy gets his skateboard lite up by his dad? He does look pretty cool.

 More fun gifts.
And thank you Aunt Jenny for finding one of James childhood ornaments. I forgot to take the picture. But that meant so much. It was a great evening. With fun nerf battles and a skype session with Grandpa and Grandma Coffelt in Michigan.  We wish they were here with us.

Merry Christmas 2010!!!!!
