Christmas 2011

The Christmas Season at the Eckhoff house started the weekend after Thanksgiving with our annual tree decorating. We headed out to pick out our perfect tree. I do have to say that this year we got a GREAT ONE!!! Every year the tree seems to get a little better! We also headed to the store so the boys could pick out their ornament for Christmas 2011.

It was no surprise that Peyton pick a Hockey themed ornament.


Landon picked out a farm scene.



They were both very proud of their ornament and their decorating skills.


We also went to visit Santa early in the month. Peyton was a little apprehensive but did go and sit on Santa's lap. Landon wanted NOTHING to do with the big man.


The boys both got the stamp of approval.


Peyton also had his Christmas Program at Preschool. He got all dressed up and sang his heart out!!!



Once Christmas finally arrived...

They obivously got more than enough presents and we got to spend time with our family. As they get older holidays are different each year. Landon understood "presents" this year and Peyton of course was there the whole time to show him the way.



This year we had an "Elf On A Shelf" named Mickey that stayed with us during the Holiday Season. He was a very silly elf and each morning when he returned from reporting to Santa at the North Pole we found him in a different spot in the house. They boys were so excited to get up and get dressed so they could search for him each day!

He did get himself into a little mischief some nights:)

The BIG present this year was a Fire and Police Station. They have spent many hours playing with it!

To our surprise Santa even found the boys at Grandma and Grandpa Mobraten's house. They were very spoiled.
