Belated Christmas

We had such a fun Christmas 2013.  The kids were so excited and really the perfect ages to enjoy traditions and be together.  It's always so nice to have family around and it was wonderful having Nana and Grandad here too.  Here are pictures in no particular order.

 Our Christmas Nativity was great with cute Austin as a shepherd and Josie as an angel.

We had some cute, excited kids in their Christmas pajamas.  Ian was over the moon about the fact that he had "button up" pajamas.  Andy made a pretty cute little Santa.

 Rachel and Ian are masters of the photo-bomb.

Our cookies for Santa were joined by a special elf house Ian made as well as reindeer food that Josie sprinkled outside.

 Ian picked out this cute material and helped Bridget make this darling apron for Rachel.

Nana saved Bridget's old dollhouse and we repainted it and spruced it up for its' new residents:  the Calico Critters.  Josie likes telling people she got a "halico" critter house.

Andy is getting so close to walking!  Even at 14 months the funny boy will do a couple of steps and then Mowgli crawl to his destination.  I guess when you can crawl that fast there is no need to walk.

 Rachel is our cute little tomboy.  Here she is with one set of bows and arrows that she got.  We love our cute girl!

 Austin and Payton got in on the dollhouse fun.

 Josie had some tooth decay set in.

We gave the kids an annual pass to the Natural History Museum and Justin personalized our movie to tell them.

It was a great day!
