Finally, some Christmas Pics!

Things have been so busy around here I have not had time to get on here and post. We had a wonderful Christmas. The kids had a great time and were so excited. It was also such a blessing to be around our family! It is an incredible feeling to celebrate with the ones you love and to make new memories to add to the old ones. I am so thankful my family lives so close.

Christmas Eve was great, although I think we are adding a new tradition of being late to the Christmas Eve service. It was our second year in a row to arrive almost 15 minutes late. Let's just say Kade was having issues, and the poor guy was having trouble going to the bathroom. We didn't feel it appropriate to drop off our screaming son in the nursery! Anyways, we ended up bringing Kade to the service with us and we were so proud of him. He was so quiet and good. He never made a peep during the sermon, and would flash his brilliant smile and wave to his Sunday School Teachers. He even shook one of their hands and said hello like such a big boy when we were done! After the service, my parents and grandparents joined us for our fajita meal and we spent the evening enjoying each other's company. Again, I can't say enough how special it is for me to see the relationship develop between my children and family.

After the kids were in bed, Bryan and I had a blast playing Santa and putting together the toys. Kade received a choo choo train and MK a crawl and cruise jungle thingy. Kade was so excited about his choo choo train that he didn't want to open any more presents! Ha! I'm glad that we got him the "perfect gift." We had lunch with our extended family at my parent's house that afternoon which was great. My cousins and I now have our own children which makes things fun. There were 5 kiddos...Kade-2 1/2, Jersey-21 months, Taylor-1 year (born Dec. 27th), Mary-Kate-7 months, Kenadie-6 months. (Kade was the oldest and the only boy!) I love having all the babies here, and look forward to years of all of our families expanding even more.

Anyways, I have rambled on enough, I have a ton of pics that I put in a slide show if anyone is interested!
