Happy New Year!

So I'm horrible about getting pictures off the camera so these are pictures from Chris' phone.  We had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas this year.  We saw Chris' parents the weekend before Christmas...Hayden's new car that plays music was a big hit from that time....lots of dancing.  Above Hayden is working on saying "Ho, ho, ho!"

Jensen LOVED wearing Christmas (fancy) dresses every day after Thanksgiving.  Luckily Oma and I found several dresses at yard sales for her to wear. 

Hayden and Jensen ready for the Cantata at church.

Choosing what gifts to buy from World Relief.  Jensen chose fruit trees. 

We spent Christmas Eve with Oma and Opa at church and then for dinner at their house.  Christmas morning was so relaxing!  The kids didn't know they were getting gifts so they slept in until 8.  I made apple cinnamon pancakes, we opened gifts and then Oma and Opa joined us for lunch and dinner and playtime with new toys.  Chris gave me a great gift and put in lighting in our dining room.  Yay!  Hopefully I'll post Christmas at home pictures later.  My siblings came in after Christmas.  The highlight was meeting cousin Seth who was adopted by Damon and Liz this past summer.  The cousins had fun playing together and the entire family had fun sledding (until we got cold!) in the snow we got on the 26th. 

The kids missed everyone after the holiday was over!  Baby Einstein therapy!
