Christmas Morning

Santa found us, and he brought quite the haul!!

Brooklyn was amazed that Santa knew just what she wanted, and knew just what she would like!  That guy is GOOD!

We had a fun time opening presents!  Some of the highlights include:
Brooklyn--her little bumble bee pillow pet, her clipboard and all of her learning books, chutes and ladders, yahtzee, a few craft things, a cute pair of shiny jeans, and a cute cupcake outfit, plus a few other odds and ends.

Jamison--he got his drum, and a BELT (I think he was more excited about his belt!), a monkey pillow pet, a starlight turtle, new sheets and comforter for his bed, a robe, a helicopter and fire truck, and a few other things.

Raegan--some play make up, a leapster game for her Explorer, both of the girls got cabbage patch dolls, some smelly lotion, a robe, and she was very excited about the doll house that they got too!

Lots of smiles on Christmas morning!!!

Jamison wanted to be sure we got every last present out from under the tree!!!  Ha!

Our little drummer boy!

This girl loves this doll house!

Jamison in his big boy bed with new sheets, comforter, a new pillow from Grandpa Iowa, and his new pillow pet.  There is barely room for him in his bed, but he knows the full roster and does bed checks every night!

Twas the night before Christmas

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve was a great day.  Morning was pretty lazy.  In the afternoon we went to Service of the Bells at church and got to see Brooklyn sing.  Afterwards we invited our Cousins over so that we could get some extra time with them!  

We finally got to meet Cousin Luca.  What a sweet little boy!  Raegan loved the baby!!

Looking up to Brooklyn--what a great leader for these little Nerio's!!

Luca loves to have those fingers in his mouth!!

And Katherine has more energy than ever!  Look at that smile!

Uncle Jason was sure to keep the party lively with some dancing!  These kids were wild!!

They finally calmed down a little with some Christmas books and Brooklyn showing them some things on her ipod!

Gosh--how lucky am I to be an Aunt of these two adorable munchkins!

We had a great afternoon and evening with family.  We opened a few quick gifts from Grandpa Iowa and Julie before heading to bed so that we could be ready for all the gifts the guy in the big red suit was bringing!

Thanks Grandpa Iowa!

Grandpa Iowa sent us some pillows with matching canvases to go on our walls!!!  We love them!!!

Today I am so thankful and blessed to come home to my three babies and loving husband! I had to let this one fall asleep in my arms and just cuddle! So thankful for a happy and healthy family!!!

Mommy get-a-way

Mommy (and daddy's) good friend Gretchen is getting married.  So mommy had a little bachelorette party get away to Kansas City for a night.

Julie drove down to meet us too!!

We had a great night, too good probably.  And let's just say, the next morning was not great!  Mommy is getting old!

These silly kids are in the Christmas Spirit!

Cheery came back!

Our elf came back! This year she started a new tradition and brought a bunch of wrapped Christmas books! Each night we get to unwrap a new book! We have some great books, fun books, new books, old books, books that help us tell the Christmas story, and books that we can't wait to open again next year, and every year after that!!!
