Celebrating Christmas

The kids showing off all of the things that Santa left them. Mason was happy with his new pirate ship and truck, and McKayla and Madison were excited to see a new stereo and bedding for their room as well as a house for all of their Little Pet Shop toys! They also all got new winter coats and lots of other fun things!

 This year we had a great Christmas. On Christmas Eve all of my brothers and sisters (along with their families) were able to spend the night. This was Marlie's first time meeting her cousin Addie as well as Aunt Kim and Uncle Tim. We all had so much fun being with each other! We played games and read the Christmas story, and as usual ate a lot of wonderful food prepared by my mom! My dad had  to work, but he was able to be home Christmas morning as we exchanged gifts and had the traditional Christmas breakfast of cinnamon and orange rolls, scrambled eggs, ham and eggnog. It is so wonderful to be a part of a family where we like and take the time to spend time with each other and make lasting memories!
