Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you had a wonderful time with family and friends. We were able to see many of our family members and spent time with Julia's grandpas and grandmas.

 

First, we went to Aunt Susan's house for the Didrikson family Christmas (Sunday night). There were lots of kids there this year!  Gavin was the oldest of the great-grandkids that were there. 

Here are a bunch of them playing together in the kitchen.

Santa even came to Susan's to visit with everyone.  Julia was still not sure what to think of that guy.

Gavin was so good with Santa.  He made sure to tell Santa that he would be at Grandpa and Grandma Lee's for Christmas.

Julia has started to play with her hair when she is tired.  There were a lot of late nights for Miss Julia, but she did really well.

 Julia just loved all her dolls that she got for Christmas!  It is so cute when she gives them hugs and kisses!

Julia didn't quite know what to do with all her gifts! 

 She did love all the paper, boxes and bows!

 

 The grandkids had to help Grandma Lee open her big gift!

 

 Thank you Santa, for all the nice gifts!

 



 Julia decided to climb on the presents at Grandma and Grandpa Rudebusch's house so she could get to the tree! : )

 

 Wow, that is a lot of gifts to open!

 

Wow, this makes noise when I push the buttons!

 

Thank you everyone for the very nice gifts! We were very spoiled by our family! 

It was wonderful to spend time with everyone! What a blessing it is to be able to spend precious time with family.  It goes so fast.

 

We enjoyed some time at home over a long weekend before we are back to work tomorrow.  It was nice to have some time to put away gifts, wash clothes and organize/clean the house a bit! 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  We hope 2013 is good to you!
