Christmas 2013

We have had a wonderful Christmas break and enjoyed our time together so very much! We did our first "jammy cocoa Christmas" where we rode around and looked at Christmas lights and sipping on hot cocoa (just us, not the babies ;-)

 And not just any cocoa, but Chad made a delicious homemade mint hot chocolate with homemade whipped cream on top. Yum!!

We spent Christmas Eve with Chad's family.

 We enjoyed a delicious dinner and had a wonderful evening with everyone!

Then it was back home to get the girls in bed and get everything ready for Christmas morning! Chad and I were so excited to finally be the ones putting together toys on Christmas Eve =)

 

Everything was ready for Christmas morning! The girls woke up around 8:30 (finally!) and we were so excited to take them to the living room to see their gifts. They weren't really sure what to think at first, but then they settled in and realized the new toys were theirs to play with!

We had fun playing with their new kitchen and dishes!

Then it was time for stockings!

We had a fun morning at home, just the four of us. It was so fun to watch the girls play with their new toys. We had a delicious breakfast of Chad's french toast and then headed up to my parents house for a late lunch and gifts with them.

 I love this picture of my parents and their beautiful grand-girls!

Our family of four on Christmas Day 2013

Those two have grown just a little since Christmas of 2012 ;-)

We have been blessed beyond measure and are so thankful for the gift of God's Son and the many other blessings He has so graciously bestowed upon us. What a joy to celebrate Jesus at Christmas time and each and every day that He gives us!
