Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas visiting with family! We are very busy because we have a lot of people that we get to spend the holidays with, but we wouldn't have it any other way! Even though the kids (and ourselves) felt completely spoiled by presents (and loved every minute of it-thank you to our family for everything, we SO appreciate it!) we ultimately celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and before diving in to open presents we take time to pray together as a family to thank God for Jesus and for the blessings in our lives! We definitely experienced one of the greatest blessings this year, bringing a new life into our family to make us complete.

Claire Bear's first Christmas!

Stuffing her in her stocking (I was spotting her, settle down)

Connor broke out the jazz hands in excitement over his new trucks!

The boys leaving cookies and milk for Santa (sorry Santa but we dropped one of the cookies on the floor)

The one family photo that I managed to get.

Taylor & Todd opening their Guitar Hero from Grandma & Grandpa Morris

Grandma Morris got Claire a "Baby's 1st Christmas" hat

Grandpa Mann is continuing the tradition of "fishing" for presents behind the couch (Dave is down on the floor clipping on presents for them to "reel" in). The Mann kids always did this with their Grandpa Mann.

The shirt that the "dogs" got for Todd's dad :)

Santa and his elf came to visit at Tom & Sharon's in Goshen.
