Christmas Celebration #1

Kevin's family was here this past weekend to celebrate Christmas with us. This is the second year that we've done Christmas in California. I must admit it is a little warmer than when we head up north, but when we do it this way we don't get to see all the extended family which is always a bummer. Here are some pictures of what kept us busy.
Morgan and Ethan helped me make Christmas cookies. I used the most fabulous sugar cookie recipe this year that I found online. Decorating cookies is one of my favorite traditions of Christmas time.

Ryan and Jessica also came to visit this year. Ethan loved having lots of people around to play Uno with him.

Brooklyn unsure of what all this present stuff is about.
Oma is helping Morgan with her present.

Santa Ethan. He was beyond excited about opening gifts. He handed them all out and had to help everyone open them. It was fun to see his excitement.

Hudson had a great time with the paper and bags.

Morgan got a Hello Kitty necklace and jewlery box. She was in heaven.

Big brother helping Brooklyn.

All the kids love this car ramp that Hudson got.

Ethan recieved Battleship and has been loving to play it. It was great having extra playmates around this weekend!

Mo and Uncle Ryan.

Ethan and Morgan loved having Uncle Ryan and Auntie Jessica here. I think Kevin's parents commented that it's good they normally leave them at home because the kids wanted to play with their auntie and uncle more than Opa and Oma;) It was again a great visit and when by way too fast. We are thankful we get to have these weekends so frequently because it helps maintain our relationships even though we live far apart. Thanks for the visit!
