Christmas!

Christmas was a blast this year in our new home! We spent most of December sick so,we missed out on a lot of things but were still able to enjoy each other. I feel guilty that Colt did not get a picture with Santa for his first Christmas, but I was able to get a few of him by the tree.

Aunt Carol was able to come by on Jake's birthday and spoil all three of them for a little while. The pajamas in the first picture was her Christmas gift to the kids!! Thanks Aunt Carol!!

Our Christmas tree was blessed with just the gifts from Carol and the gifts the kids made us with my parents. I did get everything wrapped and under the tree by Christmas Eve!

My friends Angela and Zach came by our house with their adorable kids Elijah and Aviah! I had a great time seeing them and was truly blessed by their visit. Ang and I were pledge sisters and were really close all through college. I am so proud to see them living for Christ and walking in faith and obedience. I love you guys!!

Christmas Eve we were all well enough to head to church for our service. It was a beautiful night singing Christmas Carols and celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior.

Our tradition is having hot chocolate by the fire right before the kids go to bed. Baylie LOVES this although, it is not the only day she gets hot chocolate.

Santa Came!!

Happy Birthday Jesus!!!

My Family came the day after Christmas to celebrate. My dad got all the kids and cousins scratch off tickets. Here is my brother, Jeff and cousin Stephanie working on their scratch offs. Jeff did not know he had the bow on his head!! he! he!

Colt learned to pull up that night!!!

Nathan found my camera Christmas Day wedged in between my seats in the car! When we went to open present with my parents they blessed me with a Nikon D-3000!! I could not believe it!! I felt bad that I had found my Canon Powershot, but we decided that it is probably good for me to for me to have two cameras. I can fit one in my purse and the other is too big to lose in between the seats!! I am looking forward to learning more about my camera and will post the pictures I have taken with it next time.
