Christmas!

We had an excellent Christmas celebration this year! We knew it would be fun to have a baby around, but it was even better than expected. I would go so far as to even say it was magical.

Vi checked out the snow for the first time



We hosted the Steffey family for an overnight stay and had lots of fun playing Wii, doing makeovers, and opening tons (and tons and tons) of presents. These are just a small sample of our favorites.

Nate got a very fetching sweater/shirt combo.



I got a water bottle I've been secretly desiring for years!!!!!



Vi got personalized blocks, stacking cups, LOADS of super cute clothes, books, headbands and hair bows, and lots and lots more. Thanks Grammy and Grampy!


We ventured out into the snow for the Christmas Eve candelight service. We hung out in the back because Violet was singing SO loud! This girl loves to sing and show off her strong voice. When we got home she checked out the presents under the tree.




Our favorite Christmas present this year!


Ready to open her special present from mommy and daddy


Meeting her pal Violet. Her pal says her name, her favorite foods, and sings her lots of cute songs.


We spent most of Christmas day hopping around to see Nathan's family and it was a great day. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Tenholder we will be having lots of fun at The Little Gym and the Magic House for the next year - so exciting!! It was such a blessing to be able to spend time with so many people we love and to worship the King of Kings!
