Christmas Celebrations

Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas Eve, we went to the Hahn's for brunch.  We had delicious mush,cinnamon rolls, sausage, and fruit.  We came home for naps and spent the evening at home playing with the new presents.



Em was always ready to open presents.



It was nice to have Uncle Nate home!

The kids opening their stockings.

Grandparents opening their snowmen handprints.

Putting out cookies, milk, carrots for the reindeer, and a bag of sippy cups for Santa to take to needy children! :)

Christmas Day

Christmas was a little tricky this year since it was on a Sunday. The kids were up and wanted to open their stockings right away.  Then we had church and a party at mom and dad's in the afternoon.  The kids rested at my parents and were actually pretty good, despite all of the busyness.

Every gift Landon opened came with the words: "This is just what I wanted!" 
Em started to copy him, especially when she got her very own chapstick!!

Landon likes his new remote control car.

Emmy likes singing karoke on her new Hello Kitty machine.

All dressed up for Christmas

Both kids look happy!  Hooray!!

Christmas 2 Days Later

We hosted the Bergers and Clarks at our house on the 27th.  We had lasagna, opened presents, and played Trivial Pursuit.

Dad and Mom opening the snowmen fingerprints.

The kids playing with their new kitchen from Steven and Kristina
(and it only took 40 minutes to put together! :))

We hope you enjoyed your Christmas Celebrations as well and tried to keep in mind the real reason we celebrate.  We did do a couple renditions of "Happy Birthday to Jesus" to help the kids realize why we celebrate!
