Christmas Time is Family Time

Christmas was special this year because we had a new addition to the family celebrating with us this year. This Christmas it was great to reflect on the meaning of Christmas and the birth of Jesus and spend quality time with our family.

Here are some pictures and highlights:

-Christmas eve after church we had a full house at Matt and Jen's for their annual Christmas Eve Spaghetti dinner. Matt's brother's family and my aunt, uncle, cousin and her little girl all joined us.


-Thought it had snowed Christmas morning...frost is the closest thing we got


-Elijah was a joy to watch while he opened his presents...he was so excited about each gift he got to open. Elsie was as precious as ever...very content and all smiles.


-Christmas day my cousin and I took Elijah and her little girl Jo to the park. They had a blast on the swings, slides and running around.


-Reception for my cousin Jason and his wife Juli who were out visiting from Minnesota.


-Week before Christmas Jim and I had a Christmas together with a wonderful dinner and gifts from each other.


-Spending time with Elijah and Elsie. Elijah can always make me laugh. He is such an entertainer.

-Enjoying the time with the family :)
