Ross Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 was a blast! Once again, it's hard for us that we can't post pics of the foster kids, but we worked around it a little in this post.

Family Pic in Savannah, GA. You can see who's the center of attention in our home :)We celebrated our Christmas at home this year before we went to visit family in NC. Opa, Oma and Rachel came to celebrate Christmas with us. It was our first year having Christmas at home. It was so much fun being the parents and creating the boys Christmas experience.

Christmas morning after Santa's visit:
Santa brought the boys a huge Geo Trax set. We had so much fun staying up late and helping Santa get the tracks ready.
FC2 & his stocking:
The boys created this lovely gingerbread house with the help of Mommy, Oma and Rachel. My favorite part is Frosty sliding down the roof:
And now for the Carolinas. We flew out to visit Clint's family this year. FC2 was able to come with us and LOVED the plane ride. FC1 is close to moving home, so the state wouldn't allow us to bring him.

We spent the first bit at Hilton Head Island, SC. Christmas with Clint's fam:
Julia & Laura as angels:
Pa, Jared, Carter and Emily as shepherds (Emily looks thrilled :) )
Nana & Pa opening presents:
Clint & his sister Stephanie:

The gorgeous sunset at Hilton Head Beach:
And then we went to North Carolina near Asheville to Clint's parent's house and found:

Lots of snow and awesome icicles:

FC2 LOVED playing with the farm animals. This pic is one of my favorites. If you look closely you can see he's mimicking the goat, lol.
Then FC2 chased all the animals around:
He had no fear and walked straight up to the horses:
Clint taking care of the horses. The childhood version of myself, that used to watch Man From Snowy River repeatedly with my older sister, would have swooned to know that I would marry this guy:

We couldn't bring a lot of toys with us for FC2 to play with, but we did buy some trucks that also worked as blocks. Throughout the vacation we would find these little block towers randomly throughout the condo/house. They always made me smile:
