The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Merry Christmas everyone!

We had a great Christmas - and hope you all did too! We are again reminded of how blessed we are and how thankful we are for the gift of Jesus! :o)

On Christmas Eve we went to my sister's house and had incredible Italian food (a tradition in our house) for dinner. Christmas morning was spent opening presents and hanging out with our kiddos. Then we went to brunch at my parents house and then on to Aurora to have Christmas dinner with Jeff's family. The next day we did our Christmas celebration with Jeff's mom and step-dad. All in all, it was a very fun weekend!

And here are lots of pictures for you to enjoy...

This snowglobe was a gift from Grammy to EmJ last year - she still loves it and this year Luke is fascinated by it! :o)

Luke just playing with his new toys

EmJ playing with her toys - we were going to go to brunch at my parents house soon, so she didn't have to eat much for breakfast. When I told her she could just eat and keep playing she said, "Oh mom! You're the best!" :o)

Our sweet kiddos

My whole family! :o) It was fabulous that my brother and niece, Cadence, got to come for Christmas! It's always wonderful to have everyone together!!!

Siblings :o)

Handsome boy on his first Christmas!

A generation picture - Jeff's grandparents, his mom, Jeff, and the kids, of course!

Grammy reading to Luke

EmJ opening presents - what a blast this was this year! One thing I loved about watching her was that she was very interested in everything she opened - she wasn't just interested in ripping through the gifts. :o)

Thanks, Grandpa Greg!
