Catch up!

And just like that, the holidays are over.  Like always, they flew by in a whirlwind of a couple weeks. The Thursday before Christmas, we headed to Kennewick to spend a few days with Derek's family.  The kids had a blast playing with their cousins and seeing Grandma and Grandpa Peterson.  We came home the day before Christmas Eve and then spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day at home.  On the day after Christmas we got in the car again and headed to Portland to spend a couple of days with my family.  Lots of driving, but lots of fun!

There is nothing more fun then seeing your kids' faces as they come down the stairs and see that Santa has come.

The kids tore through their stockings and presents and were very happy with what they got.

Here are some stand out memories from this year.

-Driving around looking at Christmas lights while listening to Christmas music.
-Having a gingerbread man decorating party with preschool friends.
-Sitting in front of our cozy fire with all the lights off except for our tree and watching a movie.
-Seeing both sets of grandparents.
-Braedon telling me that Santa is probably going to just drop the big trampoline in our back yard with a crane, all set up and ready to go.
-Spending lots of family time together at home just hanging out.

We had a great holiday season, but are ready to get back to our normal routines.  Baeo is very excited for preschool today!
