Christmas Day

We really had a wonderful Christmas this year.  It was fun to be in our new home and get together with all of our families.  

After quickly checking out what Santa brought us we headed to the Clements for breakfast and presents.  It was fun to see how excited the boys got.

Building Legos.  This was only the beginning.

We ended the day at the Hettingers for more presents and more dinner/breakfast.

This is how we all felt at the end of the day but it was sure a fun day.

Once we got home Alex had so much fun playing with all that he got while Brandon and I began building more Legos.

Alex covered in his new slime.

We had a great Christmas.  We can't wait until next year!

Christmas Eve

It seems like Christmas Eve is just as busy as Christmas day around here.  After a delicious breakfast at the Original Pancake house we visited with Maryann and Stephanie.  

For Dinner we headed to the Clements house first.  We enjoyed a delicious dinner of chicken and crab.

The only time they hold still...

 Opening new pajamas.

Showing off his new slippers.

Finally we headed to the Hettinger household for desserts and a gift exchange.

Christmas Festivities

We had an amazing holiday this year.  Looking back at the pictures makes me sad that it is already over.  We had a lot of fun keeping up our family traditions.

Alex decorating the tree.  Not sure where his shirt ended up. 

We took our annual trip to the Festival of Trees.  We were smart this year and went on Thursday morning so it wasn't busy at all.  It was lots of fun.

My favorite tree- the Mickey house.

Alex's favorite tree - Ninja Turtles

Alex also participated in his preschool Christmas program.  He was a little crazy that night but so cute to watch.

Saying his part...

Miss Joey asked them what they wanted for Christmas and what they wanted to give someone else for Christmas.  He wanted a lego Millennium Falcon and wanted to give his mom a new phone.  Not sure where he came up with that but I'll take it.

We also attended another Gygi family Christmas party.  The kids were entertained by Santa.

A Visit with Santa

Another Christmas season meant another picture with Santa for the Clements Family.  Alex was a little shy but excited to meet him.  

Cousins

We are so lucky to have a talented photographer in the family.  In November Mindi took some photos of all the cousins on my side of the family.  They turned out so cute!
