Christmas 2012

 

The Polar Express

We started a new tradition this year. We printed out some “tickets” for the girls and placed them on their pillows. We got the girls ready for bed and when they got to their beds they saw the tickets. Then we all pile into the car where there is hot chocolate and snacks and drive around town looking at Christmas lights. The girls (mostly Lily) LOVED it!

Every year we get a new book from Grandma and Grandpa Burk and read it together on Christmas Eve. It’s one of my favorite traditions.

We got a portable potty-seat too. It fits on top of a 5-gallon bucket. Matt is thoroughly thrilled!

It’s hard to be away from family this time of year. But I’m so glad we have the technology to make the distance a little shorter.

We were lucky enough to have our friend Aaron come and spend Christmas with us while the rest of his family left town for a funeral.

A baby of her own. Hopefully this will curb any fights over babies in the near future. December 25, 2012_14953 December 25, 2012_14958 December 25, 2012_14965 December 25, 2012_14972 December 25, 2012_14976 December 25, 2012_15008
