We've Been Busy!

I realize I haven't posted in awhile and that's because we've been very busy! I am so thankful life has finally settled back into routine. Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays... But there is so much to do and so many places to go, that it really wears me out! :) Enjoy the picture collection of our holiday fun!!!

Two Great Chefs! Gotta love making Christmas cookies!!

Nana & Papa & their band of merry grandchildren

There were several attempts at getting this picture and this was the best one out of 10... One of these days, there WILL be a good picture of the four of them!!

Christmas Eve tradition is that we open one gift... (always new PJs)

4 kids all decked out in new pjs

Carli and Ella's first Christmas Morning!!

Christmas Day at our house!
We spent Christmas Eve at Mom & Bob's. We opened gifts there and ate dinner that night before heading to the Christmas Eve service at church. They all came back over Friday morning for brunch and to see all the goods the kids had gotten for Christmas.

Another Christmas tradition is that the kiddos do a Gingerbread House with Uncle Jerrad. This is this year's finished product!

We spent the day after Christmas with Jason's family in OH. Here are Bud and Ann and all the grandkids.

Cousins hanging out!

After celebrating with Jason's family we went to Springfield to celebrate with Aunt Patty and her gang. Toby LOVED helping Micah open his gifts! :)

Aunt Patty got Mom and Bob a flat screen, plasma TV for Christmas... This is their reaction! :)

Lucky ducks! :)

The Springfield Crew

To end the year, we enjoyed spending time with good friends.

Fonduing dessert as we wait to ring in the new year...

As I said, we've been busy! But we've had fun!

We wish you and yours a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!!
