Christmas 2011

What a good time! I wish I could have a newborn every Thanksgiving and Christmas! It is always such a happy time of the year, but this year our new little family member made it more wonderful than I could imagine! We cut back on the extras of the holidays, like traveling and lots of gifts and baking and activities and Christmas cards. Instead it was pretty quiet and we spent the bulk of it at home, just the five of us. We were able to spend a little time with our extended families who came to us (Thanks, everyone!). Here are some pictures from our little Christmas celebrations.

The 3 cuties on Christmas morning (at least Jake looks excited!)

Not that I'm complaining (okay maybe just a little), but there are a serious lack of beautiful baby girl pictures on your blog!! I am SOOOOOO impressed with the boys outfits. They are awesome. Good work. We need to talk soon. Love you
