Christmas Morning!!

We had such a wonderful and relaxed Christmas!! The kids actually slept in a little and then we all headed downstairs to open presents in their new robes from Nana and Papa!! I was so shocked when they both took their time opening each present and wanting to play with it instead of ripping into every item!! They each has so much fun and Brooklyn loved her new Princess dress-ups clothes, but her ultimate favorite toy was the baby doll and stroller that her Aunt Brigetta and Uncle Keith got her!! She fell absolutely in love with it, and never put it down!! Josh was so excited to get new Buzz Lightyear figurines!! Buzz is his favorite character and he absolutely loves him. The rest of the day was so peaceful while their played with all their new toys. Doug's sister Brigetta and her husband Keith came over for Christmas dinner. We had so much fun spending time with them and enjoying our time together as a family!

Brooklyn is roaring like her new pet lion!

Josh was so excited to show us each and every present that we got, and then asked for us to open it, so he could play with it right then. I felt like I was rushing him to be a normal kid and rip into the next present! :-)

Your wish is my command!

Christmas Eve!!

We spent Christmas Eve with the Campbell family that we love so very much! We all lived together in Iowa several years ago and then all migrated south to Arizona the same year! Tonight, we ate a delicious ham dinner together, we decorated cookies for Santa, and opened our new Christmas PJ's!

Tyler and Josh had so much fun together! They are truely best buddies!

Whatever happened to kiss the cook?

Christmas Season

My wonderful sister Collette came to visit for a few weeks in Dec. We absolutely loved having her visit and she was so willing to snap a few family pictures for us! The only way to get both kids to look was to play peek-a-boo, as you can see Brooklyn doing. Whatever works right!? :-)
