When I look back on this Christmas, years from now, I hope I will remember my sweet children's squeals of delight and smiling faces. I want to remember sitting down with family and sweet packages of thoughtful gifts. Every year I am always amazed at the generosity of people. It's the great thing about Christmas, it gives you that chance to think of others.
Christmas day with our family was a busy day full of seeing loved ones and wishing them a Merry Christmas.
We are very fortunate to live so close to be able to see 4 grandpas and 3 Grandmas all in one day!
How thankful we are for them and the sweet memories they make with us.

Christmas Morning
It was the early hours of the morning when we woke up to our children's voices in their rooms.
They waited very patiently until we were ready to recieve them into our transformed living room. Wrapping was torn, presents were admired, and we had a very merry Christmas morning complete with French toast, bacon, and orange juice...yum!
My sweet littles.
Ryker's favorite: A shiny new pocket knife
Violet's favorite: New animal toys
Jonah's favorite: His bike or "cycle" as he called it
