Christmas at the Lake

The Saturday after Christmas, we went over to Great Grandma Deems and Ralph's house. Grandpa Schmidt, Debbie, Nan, and Alan all joined

On Sunday, Uncle Matt and Aunt Amber came over to Nan and Grand-dad Alan's to celebrate Christmas.

Aiden once again catching up on much need rest from the Holidays! Although this time he has two new friends.

Christmas at the Byrne's

After we opened presents at our house on Christmas morning, we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Byrne's house for more holiday fun. We all (Jason, Aiden, Blake, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Adam, and Me) opened gifts first and then had breakfast!

After opening all the gifts, Aiden and Blake took a mid morning nap- too much excitement for one morning.

Christmas Morning

It was our first Christmas as a family of four. We had a great morning. Of course the boys didn't understand the concept of Santa and his eight tiny reindeer, but they did like to rip the paper off the presents and crinkle it in their hands (or stick it in their mouths!!).

Here they are just waking up...

This is what it looked like after we had opened the gifts- what a mess!
