Playing catch up again ~ Christmas 2012

Here’s a slight recap of our December & Christmas activities:

First up, Christmas Eve with the Schouten Family:


Papa reading to Alexa and Sophia               Emma and Logan playing together

Micah & Bobbie in their matching attire

Logan’s turn to open his first gift - a devotional book set

Alexa’s turn to open her 1st gift - a new devotional for girls

Time for Alexa’s 2nd gift - new pajamas! :)

Logan’s 2nd gift - new pajama’s too!

(notice Alexa sticking nearby and always ready to help?)

Time to try and get a cousins picture in their PJs from Oma & Papa… (missing Koen of course)

And now one with their Aunties who also got PJs this year:

Sophie and Logan hanging out in their new PJs


We of course missed Coby, Kris, & Koen and Sean & Kiley!
Sean & Kiley made & sent this puzzle for the family to put together:

In case you didn’t notice, they even made sure to include my baby bump!

Our family celebration time, the morning of Christmas Day (before church)

Alexa in front of the tree (Excuse her bed-head)

Logan opening his present:


Alexa, of course, thought she had to help him play with it


Alexa’s turn!


Daddy’s turn! Alexa picked out a gift from herself & Logan which they gave to Daddy first:

Then they helped him open his gift from Mommy:


Then we had Christmas with the Fennema family at my sister, Sarah’s house
(yes, technically our 2nd time but this is our Christmas tradition & this time Jon & Joel were able to be out so we were only missing Scott & Anne and their family)

Logan had both Kinzie and Faith helping him open his flashlight, tractor, and cars book


Then Alexa got to open her present - a learning pad and penguin colors

All in all we had a wonderful holidays spending time with family and friends!
