Christmas Morning

He had so much fun the day before, I had to wake him up to come join us for Christmas Morning!



Madison figuring out how to unwrap her gifts.



My favorite picture of the moment!



So excited to see what was wrapped up in each gift!



Seeing the joy and excitement on my kids faces is one of the best ways to warm my heart. Caden just loved Christmas & Madison was just taking it all in.

Christmas Time

When family is around, the holidays are so much more joyous. We were so blessed to have a lot of our family come join us for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Thank you Lord for bringing us all together this Holiday Season and allowing our hearts to be warmed by all the laughter and good memories made.

Some yummy treats

We had all our family over for Christmas Eve "Lunner", so Steven could enjoy some Christmas festivities before heading off to his night shifts. It was fun to have everyone over and just enjoy each other's company. We love making memories and seeing the delight on the kids faces as they take in all the attention! Here are just some of the goodies I made...things got busy so we didn't get any other pics of the all the yumminess. We had a ham which was easy to cook!, mashed potatoes, carrot ring casserole, green bean casserole, homemade mac n cheese, rolls, deviled eggs, spinach dip, tamales, lots of cookies, cheesecake and pumpkin pie!! YUM!

Our Christmas Card

It sure is interesting trying to get a picture of all of us actually looking at the camera let alone smiling! We did a mini photo shoot on Thanksgiving. Big thanks to Uncle Michael for being the photographer!! Here's our pic that made the cut for our cards this year!

Christmas Tree time!

They make pretty cute ornaments!

Growing faster than ever!

Our sweet kids!

We headed to Bourdet's Christmas tree farm in Hollister for a flocked tree. Our friends, Dustin & Rita, came with us to get their tree as well, so we headed home with 2 trees in the back of our truck. Caden fell running through the rows of trees so was pretty grumpy for most of the tree search.
