Anyway, back to Christmas. We really did have a great time and got way too many wonderful gifts!!!!! As always...here is an unfathomable amount of pictures...
Friday night, the kids got to open 1 present each. Here they are in front of the tree:)

The hit was this little electronic hamster that ran inside of a clear plastic ball. The kids thought it was awesome...especially Abigail.

Ellie Kate LOVED playing with the awesome Nativity Set that Jeff's dad brought back from Israel a few years ago. It really was precious seeing her look and study each character. As a side note, EK listens to a children's christmas cd at bedtime now and it has been so sweet to hear her learn the words to all the awesome hymns/carols. It's amazing how many of them she knows now!

I mean, melt my heart! She loved on baby Jesus a lot...

Samuel playing with his pirate lego set. It's a good thing he's cute since his behavior was not what you would call even close to good over the weekend. He was a little hyper to say the least!

Just looks at ALL those presents!!!!

I just had to include this picture because it is a scene that happens about 2,459 times a day at our house

One of my favorite gifts was a Coach purse from Jennifer!!! She is a great gift giver and if I ever have any cute accessories (like jewelry or purses or home decor) 9 times out of 10 it's from her:)
Yes, I did crop this photo in because I thought I would spare myself the embarrassment of the dreaded double chin. Ha!

one of the kids favorite gifts was this wagon!!!

We also got to see Jeff's grandparents (his dad's parents) and eat a wonderful Christmas dinner that Donna (Jeff's mom) prepared. It's always good to spend time with them. They are 94 and 96 I think (can you even believe that????)!

the kids before Church on Sunday - as if we needed another picture of all 3:)

Love the girls outfits, so beautiful. Did you made them?
Merry Christmas!!!!!
Wow, that is a lot of presents! Love all the shots especially the family shot of the 5 of you.
Great pictures! What a fun time...
Samuel IS cute, for sure!! M's behavior has been...challenging the past few days. We had a friend over the other day and M tried to break every rule we have in this house! Not to mention, she's started talking "in other languages," which basically sounds sassy. So, even if she's not TRYING to be sassy, it sure sounds it. ARGH. I'll be glad when that phase passes.
love, love the girl's dresses...bishops are one of my favorites & of course, i LOVE anything monogrammed :)
