Merry Christmas!

This year winter break didn't start until the 22nd, which really made everything feel weird.  We spent up to Christmas feeling like it wasn't Christmas!  As usual we had Christmas Eve dinner with Grandma and Papa H and Daddy's brothers' families.  The kids love going up there to see their cousins.  We made sugar cookies and gingerbread houses and of course exchanged gifts. 

Erector sets with Auntie Kina!  (Kayda was already done).  Our kids are huge Lego fans, she decided to mix it up and give them these sets . They thoroughly enjoyed the nuts and bolts!

Sugar cookies!

New jammies and slippers on Christmas Eve.

First Christmas after painting and replacing the floors!  It looks so pretty!

Santa brought the kiddos an Xbox one.  It was set up in the family room.  They walked up, saw the controllers and seemed confused for a minute.  Then Kayda announced it and dragged the boys upstairs to look.  They came back kind of confused until they thought to look in the family room.  They were super excited.

 We tried our hand at making gingerbread houses from scratch with a kit from Aunt Kirsten and family.  I definitely have room to grow!

I'm not generally one to announce gifts, or put a lot of pictures up with gifts but want to extend a thank you to everyone.  We had a fantastic Christmas!
