Christmas Morning :)

We had a wonderful Christmas!  Callie Beth was a lot of fun as she actually ‘got it’ this year.  Ben had a lot fun ripping in to presents!  It took a long time to open gifts as Callie Beth just wanted to play! 

Before…First look… First gifts they went for… cutie :)new rain bootslove the hats… new camera And for Callie Beth’s big gift…she was SO excited! as she calls it “a big trampoline”

jumping away!Ben in his chair We hope you all had an amazing Christmas!  We are already looking forward to next year.  I can only imagine how much more fun it will be!

Santa Came!!

Santa made a visit to our house on Christmas Eve!!

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve!  This is our first Christmas as a family of 4!  Callie Beth is so excited…she already got up and asked if Santa came yet :)

Our little tradition…after baths tonight, the kids got in their Christmas pajamas, we went downstairs and opened one gift.  Callie Beth got milk and cookies ready for Santa and left some reindeer food on the front lawn.  We then read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ and tucked her in bed :)  Ben was already fast asleep.

I thought it would perfect to get a picture of the kids in front of the tree…Ben had other plans…She knew Santa was watching…Binos so she won’t steal her Daddy’s anymore. She loved them.  Let’s just say they are in bed with her tonight :)Ben’s turn…he really liked the ribbon.Glow worm like his sister.Reindeer food…after she put it out she started yelling for them to “come and get it” and “Here reindeer”  So cute! Merry Christmas Eve!

Tis the Season

We have been really busy lately getting ready for this wonderful holiday season!

Getting the Christmas tree was lots of fun!  Callie Beth tells everyone that we have a big tree at our house and then invites them over to see it :)

First look at the decorated tree…

Just too cute :)
