The Dalton Gang: Christmas 2010

We had the most fabulous time ever. It was very laid back and quiet, just the way we like it. It was really great to spend Christmas in our own home. Zeke says that since we left the Seeps no place has really felt like home, until now. We had a very white Christmas, which was my only wish. The only bad part of all this snow is the shoveling that comes with it, UGH. Zeke had a couple days off of work, which was so nice because he is a WORK-A-HOLIC. We started celebrating on Thursday by going to his company Christmas party, holy cow did they spoil everyone. The food was catered and was fabulous. Zeke is liking this aspect of living and working in town, all the little perks that his company does for him, but that is about all he like, he is really starting to get home sick for the ranch. On Friday we slept in, which is was a first for us in a while, Zeke always leaves early and Koriann has to get up early to be with her daddy. We made a huge breakfast then headed outside to play in the snow, Koriann absolutely loves riding in the sled. We found a nice gentle hill across from our house in the wash and Koriann loved going down it all by her self, she didn't want anyone to ride with her. We stayed outside for almost 3 hours and Koriann cried and threw a fit when we had to come back inside, but her little nose was just as red as could be.

The Big Day was awesome, seriously Christmas with a toddler is the best thing ever!! Zeke was so excited to play Santa and wanted to wake Koriann up at like 4 a.m. but I on the other hand was not really into that idea, so he let her sleep into about 7:30 a.m.. She was so excited when she saw what was in the living room. Koriann just was in bouncing up and down and was having a blast seeing all her new toys, which by the way was mostly farm and ranch type toys. This year she was really into tearing the paper and playing in the boxes, why is it that you spend money on toys and the best part for them is the boxes and tearing the wrapping paper? The rest of the day was spent trying out new toys and gadgets and talking with family on the phone. This Christmas season was one of the best ever for us, we have had so much to be grateful for this year, and we really concentrated on the true meaning of Christmas. Hope everyone else had as good of a Christmas as we did.

Another horse, she loves riding it.

Opening gifts from Grandma and granddad Dalton.

Grandma and Granddad Dalton gave her this awesome Semi and Trailer, it is her favorite gift and she plays with it all the time. Her olny wish is that it was bigger to hold all her horses and cows, and does she ever pack them in their, that is the Dalton side coming out in her Zeke says. She also got this John Deere tractor set and just loves it, she was mad at her dad because he couldn't get them out fast enough, stupid twisty ties. Uncle Cameron and Lance gave her a build a bear kit, which she absolutely loved putting together. Grandma and Grandpas Tucker spoiled her as well, she got this really cute cleaning set which she loves and she got new boots and snow stuff. It really is amazing how much Koriann is loved. I hope she realizes how many people love and spoil her. We are really grateful top everyone who spoils our princess and makes these occasions even better.
