christmas 2016

the quiet before the day begins...

 here they come!

 it was a GOOD Christmas.

 each kid buys EACH sibling a gift. and watching them open each other's gifts is SO precious.

 we were able to think of a gift to "blow each kids' mind" - which was my goal. but Pat also blew my mind with a new lens for my camera!!

 we had my family over for Christmas dinner. it was a blast. everyone helped get dinner on the table.

 and we did a couple minute to win it games before gifts. hilarious!

 I cannot get enough of this one........

 i'm not the only one ;-)

 goof balls!

our hearts and bellies were full!
