Christmas

We had the best Christmas this year! So blessed with our family and health and the freedom to celebrate Jesus' birth. The kids were so fun this year. So excited about the movies, the Christmas lights and all the fun things that go with this time of year. I can't wait until next year when Luke will be old enough to participate-that is, doing more than eating the paper!


Luke didn't quite know what to think of Santa. He didn't cry but just kept staring at him.
The older two loved him. They look so cute!

Every year my mom takes Maddie and I to see the Nutcracker in Seattle. It has become our tradition since Maddie was 2. This year Luke was really sick and I was unable to go but my mom still took Maddie and she loved it more than ever. She wants to be in the Nutcracker as a dancer some day. Thanks Hama for taking her!!!

The kids love to play with the stuffed animals of the Christmas movies Frosty and Rudolph. They wanted to take a picture with them and of course they had to wear their head gear.

Every year Hama buys them Christmas jammies and this year they were gingerbread. Thanks Hama!

My cute little man!

Santa brought Luke a few toys but he seemed to like the balls best.

Santa brought Jake a castle.

And our little rock star. Not a flattering picture but at 6:30am who looks good?

Maddie and Jake were very excited to help Luke open his presents. He didn't care-he just wanted the paper.
