Our Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas full of lots of family, gifts and food! Caleb and Kathryn were SO into Christmas this year, so that made it even more fun. They loved all of the Christmas decorations and lights, playing with their nativity set and the other fun Christmas toys and they loved singing all of the Christmas carols (especially Away in a Manger, Silent Night, Rudolph and I Want a Hippopatmus for Christmas). They were fascinated by our little elf on the shelf, Leon (Noel spelled backwards) who sat and watched them all day and went to report to Santa Clause each night. They couldn't wait to see the new place that Leon was sitting each morning! They also enjoyed all of the fun activities at church to help them understand the Christmas story even more. Here are some pictures of our Christmas:

Christmas at Mimi and Grampy's on New Years Day:

Excited about opening even more presents!

Kathryn got a new baby doll set with a pack n play, stroller, bouncy seat and play things. Mimi made her a diaper bag, wipes case, bib and diaper for her new baby. She loves it :)

Caleb got a new hotwheels set and a new dinosaur game for his leapster.

Overall our Christmas was very busy, but very fun. My parent's got the kids for this past weekend, so it was great for Russ and I to have a break to clean up our house and go on a nice date :)

God has richly blessed us this past year with so many blessings we can't even count. We look forward to all of the new things that 2010 will bring including a new baby boy to our family! We wish you all a Happy New Year!
