WOW...I cannot believe Christmas is already over with!!! We have been on the go with Christmas parties for over 2 weeks now and although we had tons of fun we are also a tired and just ready to be home. It was fun celebrating Christmas with our families because next year we will have a 9 month old to add to the mix...we are definitely looking forward to it!!!
We celebrated Christmas morning with my family (Kari's)...we always get up in the morning open stockings from "Santa", eat quiche & danishes for breakfast and then open our other presents!! It is always such a fun time :)
Our last Christmas picture with only the two of us!!!
Christmas Eve night we always celebrate with Brandon's immediate family. This was our last sibling picture before the two littles ones arrive...Brandon's sister is due in a week!!!
Brandon & Kevin (brother-in-law) switched names this year and somehow both ended up with maroon Carhartt shirts...great minds think alike right?!!?!
Cassie had my name...I finally got my apple peeler & corer...no more borrowing from my mom & mother-in-law!!
I drew April's name but Brandon gave her the present so I could get a picture of him with his sister. Poor thing did not feel good at all...she found out Monday that she had mono...ick and on Christmas vacation - she is always such a trooper though :)
Since Kayla is due in a week & we are "expecting" in March my in-laws bought us both Dutch Zwitsal body wash for babies...it smells so good & prevents cradle cap...cannot wait to try it :) We also both received a Bible story book from them for the grandchildren!!
Brandon & I at his parents house for Christmas...
Thursday night we celebrated Christmas at his Grandparents house...our evening was full of food, Minute to Win it games, Bingo, presents & more!!
We even got the privelege of having Olivia & Gracey visit us...I absolutely adore these two!!! Gracey kept showing us how she twirled in her Christmas dress and at the end would say "TA-DA"!!
All in all we had a wonderful Christmas...we had a total of 10 parties which included work and other family events. Somehow I did not manage to take lots of pictures, usually I am the picture queen. Westyn was a little spoiled this year too and he isn't even here yet. We cannot wait for next Christmas so that we can experience it through a baby's eyes!!! 2 months, 2 weeks and 1 day until Westyn's due date...I have so much to do :)

I got an apple peeler/corer too! And I was so excited to realize that it peels potatoes too. :) Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas! :)
you guys were certainly busy. I don't know how Brandon fit in time to help with the boat :o) Looks like you all had a blast. Next year is certain to be much more entertaining with two little ones!
