Christmas 2013

Blink. Christmas is over! And now that I've put away our Christmas decorations, it's almost like it didn't happen. It's so crazy!

Christmas eve started with a visit from our dear Jessica. We've missed her so much since she's moved to Denver but are happy she's doing well and loving her job. She was amazed how big everyone has gotten since July and Elise was happy to give hugs and laugh with her old frined. Later that day we hosted the Kaiser clan for dinner and presents. 

And of course we had to put out milk and cookies for Santa and some carrots for his reindeer.

Christmas morning was spent home as a family-- eating a special breakfast (and wrapping paper for Hadley and Cecilia), opening stockings and presents. It was nice to enjoy each other. Santa brought Elise a 'fairy mom', jump rope and a tree house for her fairies. The babies got a Vtech car carrier with cars which plays a bunch of songs.

The next day we went to Medina for the night. Uncle Kevin, Aunt Rachel, Amelie and Walden were also in town from Baltimore. The cousins had a blast playing together.

And like I said- blink- it was over.
