Best Christmas EVER!!


This Christmas has been planned for the past year! We were so lucky to be able to be together as a family for Christmas this year. Will's family, (Marie's in-laws) were so generous to let us spend the holiday weekend at their lake house here in Washington.
We had a blast. Not only was the house we stayed in absolutely amazing (indoor pool!!), but it was so fun to see my mom and dad, brothers and sisters again after a very long time. I hadn't seen my brothers since my wedding!

We got some cute pictures of the grandparents with their FIVE grandchilden. Craziness.
We ate nutella for breakfast and lunch everyday (well, at least I did).
My mom and my sisters made the most wonderful meals every night and I even helped make Jesus' birthday cake! :)

My favorite, though, was how Cole wasn't really all that interested in the toys he got from Santa (bath toys and a mini foam football). He thought that the box full of packing peanuts from someone's else gift was much more interesting!! That's what he played with/in allllll morning! I guess Santa will know for next year ;)

It was so sad when our little weekend ended and we had to say goodbye to my mom, dad, Christian, Lissie and Bryant. *tear* I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! :)
