Christmas

I didn't take as many pictures this year . . . not sure why . . . so either "sorry" or "your welcome!"
My Mom and Dad got to be here for Christmas this year.   It was so fun!  Probably the best "present" they gave to us and could have given was all the time they spent playing with the kids.  Jumping on the trampoline, games, games and more games, puzzles, reading books--the kids were spoiled with their attention!! Thanks again Mom and Dad!! 

Christmas Eve Festivities

Making Graham Cracker Nativities



 The finished products




 Nicole's church teacher brought a whole bunch of craft supplies to her class on Sunday and just let the kids go crazy with them.  Nicole made a pipe cleaner Holy Family.

Christmas Day
 Brett woke up before a few other people and went straight into the living room and found his puppy dog that was in his stocking and pulled it out.  Good thing it was in his own stocking because he would have taken it regardless of whose stocking it was in.
 Everyone is awake!




 Isaac made this container with holes for Brett to stuff pom poms in.
 Nicole made this letter and number match up game for Heidi
 Dad opening gift from Sally and Aric
 Mom opening gift from Sally and Aric
 Brett and his trucks
 Nicole (to Curt's surprise) was really happy to get this Giselle doll.  I'm just happy she still wanted a doll and not an I-phone or some other electronic device.


 Doodling together in their doodle books
 Brett's presents all had a theme this year . . .
