CHRISTMAS!

On Christmas morning, we got to see what Santa brought to our house. He left a new crib for Kendal and a Lego table for Kizzy. Complete with legos! Santa also brought Kendal a moose and Kizzy a puppy.
We also all got a stocking full of goodies!

Here are Kendal's gifts.

Kizzy's presents

Here are my gifts.

Kyle set up my willow tree nativity on our mantle.

And finally Kyle's gifts.

We had a wonderful christmas and hope that all of our loved ones did as well. We missed a lot of you this holiday season, and we are looking forward to when we get to see you again.

Christmas Eve Part Two

After the Holker traditional Christmas Eve Dinner of tacos (yes, tacos) our family opened our first presents of the night. Kizzy was so excited to finally have a green light after weeks of "not" touching. Kendal actually got a couple of good tears on the paper before Kizzy decided he needed help.
And the presents opened first were: Matching Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Christmas Jammies!





Kyle's family have always opened all family gifts on Christmas Eve, saving only Santa gifts for christmas morning. We have found a happy medium in opening Grandparent gifts on Christmas eve and opening our presents to each other Christmas Morning. It's hard to tell, but in this picture Kizzy is actually trying to share this gift with Kendal.


Kendal had a blast playing with ribbons.



Kizzy got a rocking chair with her name on it.


And Kendal recieved this teddy bear.



Coming Soon: Christmas Morning

Christmas Eve Part One

On Christmas Eve, we spent the whole day as a family, spending time together and getting ready for the biggest holiday of the year. We tried to be festive, here we all are in our christmas green.

Kyle pulled Kizzy around on the sled. We had a great time playing in our 3 + feet of snow.


It was Kendal's first time playing in the snow. Isn't he cute in his little snowsuit?

As always, Kizzy had a blast playing in the snow, she was a trooper and played outside for a solid 2 hours!

I don't think any of these pictures do justice to how much snow we had. All in all we had a great day playing and spending time together before any of the "official" celebrating even began.


Stay tuned for Christmas Eve Part Two, featuring christmas jammies and present opening!
