Christmas Morning

Christmas Day 2012

Christmas morning at our house started with homemade cinnamon rolls.  Yummy!  The mama "elf" had to taste one to make sure they were ready. (;

The boys could hardly wait to start opening their presents!  I love Tate's face in this picture!

Matching jammies, sleepy faces, & messy hair (;

Ronan dreamed of Nike for Christmas--Socks & shoes for our sporty boy.

So excited for his red Nike shoes

Running shorts for me

Ronan got a Green Machine!

Griffin got an electric scooter!

Trying 'em out

Christmas Eve

December 24, 2012~ We celebrated Christmas with all of Josh's family on Christmas Eve...and what a fun & full night it was!  Lots of busyness with nine kids, but it was perfect.  We are always so thankful that we can all be together!

The Cousins!

Decorating & Christmas Prep

December 2012~ Getting our house all ready for Christmas!  I love this time of year and it's fun seeing it all through the eyes of our children. (:  

Every year since 1999 I had have added photo ornaments to the tree.

I made raspberry vinegar for gifts...

All dressed up for the Christmas service at church.

Josh made some Christmas gifts also.
