Christmas Day

Santa came!

 The boys had fun opening all their presents while Annemarie slept in. Santa brought them each a sleeping bag. 

 When she finally woke up, she cared nothing for her presents...just the donuts in her stocking. 

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve Pajamas

Another great tradition. Ignore Rex photobombing this picture, I love this hug between brothers. 

Annemarie had a pretty terrible fit when she liked my pajamas better than hers. The only way we could get her to sit for a picture was to let her watch a video on my phone. So, while the rest of us act crazy, she sits calmly watching a show. 

Christmas Eve Traditions

We love our Christmas Eve tradition of inviting friends over for French dip sandwiches and then reenacting the Nativity. We had great sports this year, and it was so much fun. 

Our angels:

 The 3 wise men and King Harrod

 Shepard and her sheep

 Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus

 Is he not the cutest angel??

Putting up the Tree

One of my favorite days of the year. I really love putting up the Christmas decorations and decorating the tree. 

Marbles

Marbles is always fun, but going with Dad is a special treat.
