Christmas Pics

Here are some of our favorite Christmas pictures from this year.

Tessa with Santa. She wasn't afraid at all.

This is about all the closer Oliver would get.

Natalie worked up the courage to sit on his lap.

A work in progress. Mom had to work on Christmas Eve. She left the Christmas wreath treats as a nap-time project for Dad and Natalie. Dad has sworn off ever making anything involving marshmallows ever again. Here is Natalie with the masterpiece Christmas lawn-just to remind everyone what is lying under all the snow.

Santa came to our house too. This is what was under our tree for Oliver-a truck and horses.

An action shot.

Cheese!

Everyone got socks and underwear in their stockings. Natalie was the most excited.

Here she models her robe she got from Grandma and Grandpa Stierwalt.

Tessa takes a break under the table. Our house was quite noisy for several days. Maybe this was a good hideout.

Everyone got a cookie for dessert at the Seibert family Christmas. June was feeling a little left out, so she took things into her own hands while the adults were cleaning up.

She was so quiet no one even noticed through all the noise her cousins were making.

Oliver enjoys his Christmas wreath. Hey, I don't think he finished all his broccoli.

Look at all that red frosting. He's lible to be up all night!

Look how pretty these cookies were.

Mom and Tessa.

Ollie dollie in the middle of all the action.

Before we could open presents everyone had to pose for a family picture.

(See the Taller's or the Turner's blogs for other pics.)

Isn't he a heart-breaker?

Looking for the cat.

Ahh...Aunt Becky, you are so comfy.

We also celebrated Christmas with our friends the Meyers. Here Heidi tries her hand with the saw. Ever safety conscious, she didn't forget her safety glasses.

The kids table.

Is this what it would be like to have six kids? Yikes!!!

While the Turner's were visiting in Ohio, we took our annual trip to the Lights Before Christmas. We didn't make it there until after Christmas, but it was still amazing.

June stayed warm in a hold-over from halloween, her frog costume.

Henry and Oliver stayed nice and toasty in the stroller.

Tessa hitched a ride on the front of Mom.

In the aftermath of Christmas, Dad, Uncle Brandon, and Aunt Becky took some time to help Grandpa peel the wall paper boarder off the walls in Grandma and Grandpa's bedroom. While they were busy with this, the boys kept each other occupied with this fire truck.
