Christmas 2017

As we finish out 2017 I have been looking back at all the Christmases from the past few years and I decided that I definitely needed to blog again! It's such a good way to see the passage of time. So I'm skipping most of 2017 and starting at Christmas. We went to Nana and Papa's house 3 days before Christmas to spend the night all together.

The cousins are growing up!
Kiersi - 11 years old
Kayden - 10 years old
Mallory - 6 years old
Eva - 6  years old
Jensen - 2 years old

Opening his first present. It was a Peppa Pig book and a Mater from Car Duplo set.

I guess my love of coffee has been discovered! 

A camper for her Lori dolls. 

A new drill...so he can hang things up for me around the house, of course! 

Nana and Papa with the grandkids

 Waking up Christmas morning. Santa left Eva and Jensen a letter!

 Finding Santa's presents under the tree!

 Lots of Peppa and Cars

 Seeing what Santa left for the first time

 Totally out of order - but this one is from Christmas Eve with my family. Everyone came out to Bara and then went out to BJ's Brewhouse after.

 She bought us gifts this year from the school store. Ryan got a mug that says, "Captain of our Crew" with a shark on it. I got a beautiful heart necklace that is also a "mood" necklace. Probably my favorite piece of jewelry ever.

 Opening their big presents from us. Eva got a Lori convertible and Jensen got a Zurg from Toy Story.

 I got a huge mug from Ryan.

 Christmas afternoon all of my family came over and we played Family Feud.

 One of my favorites.

A few extra characters visited the nativity scene.
