Christmastime

Sorry for being MIA for the past few weeks.  You all know how busy December is.  Here is a quick recap of our month!

Abby and Dave always spend time cuddling in his chair.  I took this precious pic of them.

We took the kids to the District to take pictures in their Christmas clothes.  It was a little difficult to get them to cooperate.

 This is her "I want to play, but Mom is making me sit here and take pictures" face.

 Christmas Eve at church

 Even in a dress she is still wants to run like crazy.

 Josiah got his first taste of puffs.  He totally gagged on them, which is no surprise.  So far he's gagged on peaches, carrots, and yogurt.  

 Reading about the birth of Jesus.

 Birthday cake for Jesus

 The kids had a fun opening their gifts.

Christmas 2009

We celebrated Christmas in 2 parts like we usually do. 1st with the Huwes a few days before Christmas. The Bradens always come to visit sometime before or after Christmas. The girls LOVE their cousins so much. I love that they talk about them all the time, even though they don't live very close.



Then we went to Phoenix for Christmas. We haven't celebrated with my family on Christmas since the first year we were married, so it was nice to see the entire family while we were there. The girls had a blast with my cousins' kids. They haven't seen them in forever, but they still had a great time. Hailey even asked Abby to come sleep over at her house!

I tried to get pictures of the girls together on Christmas night in their new pajamas, but it wasn't happening. They were more interested in wrestling and crawling under Grandma's tree.

I did manage to get a few pictures of them in their Christmas dresses in front of our tree when we got home. (Although, I did have to wait until the wrestling ceased!) It seems like every Christmas our lives are completely different, and it's exciting to think about next Christmas with a new baby boy! I can't wait!!!
