Christmas 2012

We celebrated a Family Christmas on Christmas Eve.  The boys opened their stockings first thing and a few gifts before we stopped for a Christmas French Toast breakfast.  We finished up opening gifts and then the boys just played with their new toys in their jammies for most of the day.  Jesse took a long snooze, we baked a few more cookies, and then enjoyed the Christmas Eve Service at church as a family, followed by our family Christmas dinner.

The next morning we got up bright and early, had cinnamon rolls and hopped in the car for Christmas with the Atkinson’s in Cincinnati.  We could hardly wait to get there and see everyone, but especially our new niece/cousin, Adelaide who was just 10 days old (!!)  and the cutest, sweetest little thing.  :)  I am notoriously bad about remembering to take pictures… but I think that just means we’re enjoying ourselves and too busy having fun to stop and get out the camera!  ;)  Or it means we’re trying to keep Jesse and Asher from breaking things and dismantling my in-laws pretty Christmas decorations.  Either way, we had a great time!

One day it even snowed so we got to spend lots of time outside sledding in the backyard.  I’m not sure who had more fun… the kids or the adults.  I’ll let you decide.

Before a quick trip to IKEA (swedish meatballs!!) we were on the road and heading home.

Indy had a blizzard while we were in Cincy so we were anxious to see all the snow!  Chris had to shovel us a path up the driveway before we could get inside or even pull in.  You can bet we’ve enjoyed this snowy Christmas break!
