Christmas 2011!

We all had a blast this year at Christmas Eve at Aunt Dana's house. The boys loved opening up all their presents! It's so much fun when kids get old enough to understand more about Christmas. Here they are tearing open Carson's present...

Oh my gosh! What is it?

A car track! So excited!

Check out Evan's face as he opens his new remote control car...Pure excitement!

Here are pictures from Christmas morning. Both boys each got a Thomas the Train train track from Santa...

Mommy and the boys...

Evan got a new Buzz Lightyear scooter from Nana and Papa...

Carson got some new Mickey Mouse jammies from Nana and Papa...

Papa reading a book with Carson...Carson LOVES to read!

Visit with Santa!

The boys got to visit Santa at Disneyland this year! Evan was really excited to tell Santa what he wanted! Carson, on the other hand, wasn't too thrilled about the idea. He turned bright red and screamed the whole time on Santa's lap! What a cute picture!

Here is Evan telling Santa EXACTLY what he wanted...

Evan was all smiles on Santa's lap...

Maybe next year Carson will feel differently about Santa!

Here is last year's picture with Santa...the boys weren't scared! Too cute!

Disneyland Fun!

We went to Disneyland for the Christmas Fireworks show and the Christmas Parade. Both shows were great...who doesn't love Disneyland in December?? Of course we visited Mickey at his house in Toontown...

The boys sitting on Mickey's chair...

Carson mesmerized by the animals on the Jungle Cruise...he LOVES this ride!

We love the castle at Christmas time! So pretty!

Our Little Cowboys!

We were invited to a birthday party on a ranch for a little boy in our ward. The boys had a blast! There was a fun bounce house and horses! We found this fake cow used for training horses on the ranch, and Daddy gave Evan and Carson a little ride.

Giddy-up, cow! Haha!

I think this horse wanted to give Evan a kiss! Check out Evan's face!

Petting the horse...

Carson liked the horsies too!

Evan was dying to go for his first ride ever on a real horse...

He got his wish! Helmet on and ready to go...

He looks like a professional!

This was the kind owner of the ranch who gave Evan the ride. Evan absolutely loved it and didn't want to get off!

He can't wait for his next ride on a horse!

Merry Christmas 2011!

Merry Christmas from the Struebings! Evan - 3 years old and Carson - 19 months.

(We also thought this picture of Mommy and Carson was pretty cute too!)
