Thanksgiving, Christmas and beyond!

Christmas was a busy and exciting time in our home. Ashley and Ezra barely had time to pose for some much needed holiday documentation. I barely managed to get cards out this year. They are such hams when it comes to the camera (Ashley especially). Christmas Day was tons of fun. The kids opened so many gifts and loved every second of it! This year Ezra was able to truly understand it all. It makes it all worth it!

Here are some Christmas Eve pictures. The kids got new pajamas and the rest of the family hung out and played games. We attended a special Christmas Eve candlelight service earlier in the day. Fun times had by all.

Ashley got a few things for her birthday (Dec. 22nd). She was surprised that she got presents since we don't have her party until summer. She was thrilled. On Dec. 18, my Mom (Suzee), Ashley and I were able to attend The Nutcracker ballet. This was Ashley's and Suzee's first time seeing this ballet. It was wonderful and we had a great time. Afterwards, the three of us drove through McDonald's to get a cookie. SO fun.



We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Family from Eastern Oregon came and we were able to extend our table to seat 17! It was a blast.
