We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed spending so much time with family! On Saturday the 22nd, all of John's brothers, their wives, kids and Don and Cherri were able to make it to our house. We had a great time opening presents, hanging out and watching the kids run around (except Addison...she'll be running around before we know it).
John had to work on the 23rd and 25th, so we did Christmas with Santa's gifts on the morning of the 24th. Jocelyn got her new Minnie Bicycle, just like she asked for, a set of Princess dolls and a few other fun gifts. That night we attended Christmas Eve service with my family at our church, Peace Lutheran Church. After church we all headed home, although it felt like we should be going to Grandma's house to have sausage balls, wassel, peanut butter cookies with Hershey kisses on top and shrimp cocktail. I miss that tradition and the kids are a little young to be staying up that late anyways, but we'll be making our own traditions soon enough.
Christmas Day we went over to Jennifer's house and Jocelyn got to play with Thaden and Owen and all of their new toys. Then that afternoon we went to Ya Ya's house for more presents and a Christmas dinner. Jocelyn got a new Princess Castle for all her dolls and Cinderella's carriage for her new Cinderella doll to arrive to the castle in style. She had so much fun with it. She also loved jumping on her new trampoline from Grandma!
Hard to believe that next Christmas there will be two more little ones in our house! Can't wait!
