Christmas 2010
January 5, 2011. Christmas seems like it was forEVER ago!!
A quick recap of our first Christmas as a family of three. :)
My family came to Minnesota to stay at our house since Nealy was due on Dec 26th. We had good food (as always), the boys and Jasey went skiing, had a bday celebration for Wes, we played a competitive game of Taboo, and even sang some Christmas carols as a family on Christmas Eve! Here's a quick shot of all of us after the Christmas Eve service.
At Christmas dinner, I think Avery was saying, "How sad! I want steak!!! And you're just giving me these nasty green beans!!"
The day after Christmas, we headed to Cedar Rapids to spend a few days with Matt's family. We had more good food, had a party with neighbors and friends, and opened lots and lots of gifts. We even had a mini-celebration of Maddie and Avery's birthdays since Matt's parents will be out of the country for both.
I unfortunately didn't get a ton of pictures while we were in CR... in fact, I basically didn't get my camera out of my bag until the afternoon we were leaving... by which time "someone" to remain nameless was getting a little on the cranky side... :) Let's just say this is the BEST picture of Avery and Grandma that I got!!
Avery got lots of wonderful gifts, one of which is this adorable hat (from Cal).
Man, I'm getting quite verbose with my posts. :) Just kidding. I feel like lately I've just been playing catch-up.
Soon, perhaps, I'll do a normal post instead of a "this is a list of what we've been up to." :)
Anyway - on to the most important event of the last few weeks....
