Christmas

Last year's white Christmas really caused a bit of confusion this year. As we have been counting down the days until the big day Emma started getting really concerned that Christmas wasn't ever going to come because we weren't getting any snow.

But even without the snow we had a fabulous Christmas....

Our stockings were all ready...even a few new ones! Mayla, Eric, and Alex all got new stockings this year.

We spent the night at Grandpa's house while we waited for Santa to come. And thankfully he came shortly after bed time because our children were too excited to sleep for very long. They began waking up at about 3:45 in the morning! Yep you read that right...3:45. We were able to keep them in bed until 4:45 but by then they were wide awake with NO indication that they were going to settle down. So we got up and out of bed to enjoy our Santa gifts until the rest of the house joined us.

A few of our favorite moments...
