Christmas Part 2

We had another wonderful Christmas this year!  Our kids are at such a fun age and everything is just MAGIC for them and it's just so much fun to experience it through their eyes.


Dusty, Grandma Kessler and I on Christmas Eve after church.  We celebrated my grandma's 91st birthday--she is such a blessing in our lives!!


Four generations :)



Birthday cake for Baby Jesus



Santa stopped by Nana and Papa's house again! :)



Livvy got an American Girl doll! 




Beanie buddies!


'Twas the night before Christmas sleepover :)


As always, Jeff and I burned the midnight oil after we put the kiddos to bed!  Santa didn't label any of the gifts so the kids had to figure out which wrapping paper was theirs by finding a small piece at the bottom of their stocking...kind of a fun, new tradition! (thanks Pinterest...:))


The four of us had a special Christmas morning together--we have such sweet kiddos!

Excited about her new undies in her stocking! :)


Daddy opening a gift from Liv




Aunt Kay and Uncle Z got Brady all geared up for the Huskers!  He was very excited!


My folks gave me new cross country skis so I got to test them out later Christmas Day night at their house!  Anytime Gina is around I am in lots more pictures :)


My trusty companion!

A little sledding fun too!










We lit a chinese lantern that night and that was a big hit with the kids!





EJ and Jenee were back in Michigan for Christmas this year so we celebrated early by taking a little sleigh ride. The experience included a campfire and a cowboy reading us an old Christmas story by the light of the fire from an antique book that's been in his family for over 100 years!  It was about 7 below zero not including the wind chill so the fire and hot chocolate felt pretty good!
