Well, this was our first Christmas away from family. We decided it would be too crazy to try and travel again this year so we stayed in Texas and began our own family traditions. Grandparents sent gifts to be wrapped in the mail and by the time everything was wrapped and under the tree (or in front of the fireplace) it looked a little ridunkulous! It was different having all the gifts in one place as opposed to going to a couple different Christmas gatherings and opening presents. We were very blessed to say the least. Missed family like crazy, but enjoyed our family Christmas and the memories that were made.
The abundance of gifts...
Here the kids are trying to sort them out...
Oliver's bright eyes and tacky Christmas outfit.
A peek at the mess...
Grandma Rosie actually sent us the kid's stockings from her house and we waited to open them until the day after Christmas when they were opening their's back in Indiana.
Couldn't pass up posting this picture of Emma trying out her new strange moon shoes...I tried them and uh...it didn't work out so well...you won't be seeing any of those pictures :o)
And poor little Ira...overstimulated!
