christmas: part 3

yes, we were on christmas overload...but is there really such a thing? i think not. i love christmas:) this year was the year for christmas with jonathan's side of the family. so that means fun times for the 9 grandkids!!! 

here we all are at church for christmas eve!

it was great to get to see everyone and spend a week watching ollie & leighton enjoy running around with their cousins.

some of the boys.

the girls.

eagerly awaiting for present opening

logan & ollie love their cars

ollie tends to open one gift and play with it...you have to remind him to open the rest:)

"i don't need help. i got this one guys."

leighton, me and tessa;)

ollie refused to be in our picture. he gets so stubborn sometimes...i wonder where he gets that from

it was a very merry christmas indeed! we are truly blessed to have been able to celebrate with both our families and enjoy the holiday season.

christmas: part 2

christmas morning the four of us celebrated our own little family christmas with a few presents and stocking stuffers. poor leighton really only got a book. but she was unexpectedly really excited about it. it was so cute. she probably only would have been happier if it was food. (she is always hungry, yet still so small...lucky girl)

ollie is not a morning person, so waking up was difficult. he had no interest in his presents or getting up. so like any good parent we started without him;) he decided to join us- eventually.

"what's in my stocking?"

"a toothbrush?!?" he was actually excited because it was a "buzzing" one

ok, maybe leighton was a little sad she only got a book...she was jealous of ollie's cars;)

stay tuned for part 3! yes there's more.... :)

christmas: part 1

we had 2 christmases this year. the first was with my side of the family. vanessa, devin & hadley came down and we spent the weekend at my parents. it was a first christmas for both leighton and hadley. 

ollie was good at helping unwrap presents.

"what did you get, ollie?" says leighotn

"PLAY-DOH" says ollie

hadley likes her play bag of groceries i got her;)

watching ollie

"hey ollie! that's MY toy!"
