Christmas!

 This cute girl came up with a great outfit for Christmas!

 We had the Roylance's over for Christmas cookie decorating.

 Christmas morning!

Nora wanted the 10 foot teddy bear from Costco, but we told her our house is way too small. Santa surprised her and brought a 5 foot one instead. She was pretty happy.

 Miles really wanted the Ultimate Hotwheel car garage for Christmas, so we made it the boys gift from Brian and I. They were all pretty excited. A few days later Wesley told me he didn't really love playing with cars and I asked him why he'd been so excited when they opened this gift. He said, "Because Miles was!" Cute boy. He did love the super hero and play-dough stuff he got!

 We got a giant Monster sack for our new awesome family room and everyone loves it.

 Brian made Nora a balance beam and she's enjoyed practicing on it. Miles loved his Lego's

Sophie got some headphones and a bluetooth speaker for her kindle. She was pretty excited and she's fooling no one with this sassy tweenager look, she's the sweetest kid around.

We had a lovely Christmas together. We started a new tradition with this adorable baby Jesus and the manger. It came with a book called, "Soft Enough for a King" and we loved doing kind deeds and filling up the manger with hay for baby Jesus. What a beautiful time of year!
