Merry Christmas!

So I'm finally getting to post about our Christmas. We had a really nice Christmas. The kiddos were off school the Wednesday before Christmas, so I met my parents in CO and they took Ethan and Emma to their home for a slumber party and to have some fun with the grandkids. They had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa, especially because it snowed 11 inches at Grandma and Grandpa's on Wednesday night and Thursday. So they had some fun in the snow. Jeremy, Hannah, Rachel, and I drove to Colorado on Friday to meet them so we could all celebrate Christmas together. We had a nice time and everyone enjoyed getting some fun gifts.

Here is a picture of our Christmas tree at home (for those of you looking closely you can tell that we still only have pictures of 3 kiddos up on our mantle...we are working on getting updated pictures of the kiddos and adding the 4th kiddo to the picture wall...I just had to clarify for those of you that will ask - haha.)

Here are Ethan and Emma enjoying the snow at Grandma's and Grandpa's in CO.
 Emma must be making a snow angel.
Here is the tree at my parents home.
Here are the kiddos getting their first look at their presents Christmas morning.
Here is Rachel checking out one of her gifts.
I think she likes it.
Emma loving her princess kitchen (this is all that she asked for before Christmas and she loves playing with it.)
Ethan and his new guitar.  He is definitely our musical man.  I think I'm going to learn how to play the guitar with him.  It should be fun.
Hannah loving her Little Einsteins piano.
By the time we finished unwrapping gifts this is what I found Hannah doing.
Love, love, love this picture.
On Christmas Eve, the kiddos helped me make and decorate Jesus birthday cake.  I think they did a great job.  We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus on Christmas day and enjoyed eating a yummy cake.
Here is everyone enjoying the snow.
The girls sledding together.
Daddy and Hannah...
Grandpa pushing Emma.
Ethan after taking a tumble off the sled.
Making their way up the hill.
Hannah after a collision.
Grandpa having fun.  I found out that Grandpa went down the hill after I went in the house with the camera.  I would have enjoyed getting that picture.  Oh well.
We all had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa.
