Christmas Eve Eve

We scheduled Christmas with my Step-dad, Mom and siblings for the 23rd. We decided not to travel to Wisconsin until after Christmas this year so we could have Christmas morning at our house on Christmas day. We thought we could have our kids open their gifts here and then have a Christmas brunch with my family after but it did not work with their schedules. We ended up missing church on the 23rd because the boys in our family had been sick earlier in the week and our baby still wasn't feeling the greatest. We decided to only take her long enough to open her presents to try to avoid getting anyone else sick. You can tell she wasn't feeling like her normal self in the pictures. :/

Love these sweet kiddos! 

She really loves Minnie Mouse! 

What a handsome guy! 

Our girls got a lot of Little People toys for Christmas this year. Such a fun line of toys! 

He's pretty happy about his Cars 2 guitar from Aunt Stacey.

She loved the Melissa and Doug waitress role play outfit we got her.  I think we will be getting it for our 3 year old for her birthday.  She was sad that it wasn't for her. ;)

We let him do the Holiday gift shop at school and he was so proud to give his grandparents the gifts he picked out for them.  Grandpa got a set of 4 Christmas coasters. 

And Grandma got a Spongebob ornament. :) 

Momma and her baby. She plays with my hair for comfort just like her big brother always did. 

Daddy and his baby girl 

We got our nephew the Melissa and Doug farm train. Love the Melissa and Doug toys too!

Apparently it isn't just babies that like to play in empty boxes. ;) 

Reading Little Blue Truck. This is probably one of my favorite books. I think every kid should have it, especially little boys. 

Teenagers! 

The whole family

We had Christmas with my Mom's side of the family after this one. Daddy took our baby girl home and the older two went with me. It was nice to see everyone and we had a delicious meal!  We are so blessed to be able to spend time with family and celebrate the birth of baby Jesus.
