Christmas Day

We had lots of fun with family at Aunt Sheri's house - all our favorite people were there and we were spoiled rotten!

Katelyn made us really cool pictures from melted crayons

Aunt Leisha made us scarves and hats

What a great day!

Christmas Morning

We enjoyed opening presents Christmas morning - not only ours but everyone else's as well.

We were surprised Santa brought more than we asked for ... who knew he could have gotten away with just the two things that were on our list

Grandma shared her candy with us but I think she'll keep this one all for herself

Christmas

We enjoyed Christmas at home this year.

Papa Nick and Grandma were able to join us for all the fun!

Cute Molly Pics

Getting some love from Emily

See loves the snow

And leaves, and sticks, and rocks and anything else she finds outside. Cute Molly is becoming rotten Molly when it comes to chewing on things!

A Visit To Santa

We went to visit Santa in his little house in Noblesville.

Still not quite ready to sit on his lap but at least we talked to him and gave him a high five

Our newest family member

Molly has fit right into our family!

She just goes with the flow and loves to play!

So funny! Here is a little video footage of the action
