Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

For Christmas Eve we went to the church service and then came home and let the kids open one gift each! Then we had cheese fondue and chocolate...yum! After that we put cookies and milk out for Santa and sent Violet off to sleep!



Owen LOVES his new truck!


Violet came in to wake us up Christmas morning and the first thing out of her mouth was, "Did Santa come yet!". Both kids had a blast opening presents and what a great first Christmas Owen had too. And Santa brought Violet a brand new BIKE! She was thrilled and we had to test it out right away:)







Then we headed off to my parents house to eat Ribs & Cream of Crab Soup and hang out and relax!


Dad got Mom a new CAR!!
