Christmas 2012

This year we did things a little differently.....we always travel and we are always surrounded by cousins and family.  But this year it was a year to be with Matt's family and his sister and family went to Wyoming to be with Brandon's family.  So we decided to invite Great Grandma Ruth, Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Roger up to our house for Christmas.  I've never had a Christmas at my own house before--really this was a first.  It was a nice, less stressful Christmas and I know that we are so blessed.  When all said and done, we are looking forward to lots of cousin fun next year!
Sunday the 23rd grandparents arrived.
 
 Christmas Eve!

Opening one gift on Christmas Eve...matching pajamas!

 Present opening time!  What did Santa bring?  An outdoor playhouse!

 So many fun things!
 Stay tuned for the putting together of the playhouse on a chilly Bakersfield day.
Merry Christmas!
