See You Next Year!

We had a fun Christmas...but as always...it goes so fast!

We were able to celebrate our traditional Christmas Eve with Dan's family...even though Elizabeth was a little under the weather...bless her heart.  She was coming down from her one-year immunizations, such a trooper!

Christmas morning is always a fun, chaotic mess!  Alex almost saw Santa!  Dan and I thought we heard him too...but we just missed him!  {whew!}  Alex saw the presents at 10:30 Christmas Eve and couldn't fall asleep until after midnight!  It was a long night!  Emily got up and went downstairs too in the middle night and told Alex!  But they were still just as excited when we all finally got up in the morning!

{Alex's favorite gift...a Nintendo 3DS!  He was so happy...and it was the first one he opened!}

{Emily's favorite things...American Girl doll and snow cone stand!}

{Elizabeth's favorite gift...her Cabbage Patch doll and stroller!}

The kids had plenty of time to enjoy the morning before we loaded up to head west to find some snow!

{we found it!}

I have so many pictures to share...but we will be enjoying lots of fun in the snow...

...until next year!

Happy New Year!
