Christmas 2013

If you were to ask how our Christmas was this year, I would have to say I've had better.  I was so excited to finally be over the flu after Thanksgiving.  And then Erin got sick a few days before Christmas and I was only a few hours behind.  Ugh.   When the fevers set in we really didn't do much except wish we were home.  The boys eventually got it too, but not until we made it home Christmas day.  So thankfully they still enjoyed alot of the activities!  It was good to see everyone and Erin loved being around Casen.  We took the boys bowling for the first time.  They play on the Wii all the time and so were thrilled to try it for real.   In fact, they didn't want to leave!  (Since then we have taken them bowling here at home and they still loved it!  It just might have to be a regular thing.)

We stayed at the Rummels for Christmas morning so Santa could come. :)  The boys were excited but Erin was still feeling the after effects of the fever and didn't care too much.  But after some food  she perked up a little and the boys were more than happy to help her with her gifts. :)   

It's always nice to see everyone for Christmas, but this time it really felt good to get home.  :)




Hmm...seems to be more eating than frosting going on here!      






Erin was not too sure about Nate, but Dustin she liked!

Christmas morning!

Later in the morning Erin finally felt up to opening some gifts.

There's a smile we hadn't seen in a few days!


The Jacksons came over to our house the weekend after Christmas.  Phil and Chelsey hadn't seen our new house yet, so it was fun to show them around.  I dont really have many pictures, but we just spent time playing mostly. :)







Alex turns 6!

We let Alex open his presents a few days early, since his birthday is so close to Christmas.  Of course, he didn't mind!  I think Adam was just as excited as Alex for the gifts. :)
