Christmas Pix


Playing with Matthew's new train.

Nannie made this cute little apron for Olivia. She really likes Dora, so this was perfect.

Uncle Andrew Olson dressed up as one of the 3 Wise Men for our Christmas Eve manger scene pageant.

Daddy dressed up as one crazy wise man.

Nanny and Grandpa sharing a story with the kids.

cute Matthew in Grandpa's Santa hat.

Grandpa and Matthew

This is one happy Grandma--we must have just cleaned up the kitchen in this picture. :)

Olivia in her fort made from an overturned card table. Olivia and Matthew sure liked it.

Grandma playing eentsy weentsy spider or another such game with Matthew.


Nannie and Matthew looking at all the snow. We got almost 3 feet in Longview this year. The most we have ever seen! It's a wonder we were able to make it there and back relatively on schedule.

One happy girl on her way out to play in the snow with Daddy.

Olivia with Grandma and Grandpa.

Olivia's favorite thing to do at home is dress up. What with the limited luggage space, we certainly couldn't accomodate her dressup needs on this trip, so Olivia made do with Grandma's sweatshirt, and even one of Uncle Grant's old shirts, I believe.

Olivia and Matthew with their Christmas presents: Olivia got a Dora bike and Matthew got a little train he can ride around the house. I think Olivia rides it more than he does. Maybe we should have gotten Olivia the train instead.

I now am a firm believer that the best toys are the ones for baby/toddlers. No matter what their age, they always revert back to the baby toys. We just pulled out "new" one for Lincoln, and Ella and Jayden steal it away from him. Poor boy.

Glad you guys made it there and back safely and that you enjoyed your Christmas!

Great blog Janae. It's fun to see how you guys are doing. It looks like you're doing great. We loved your Christmas card. Keep up the good work. I loved the shoe video and the giggling kid one. Those were great!

Adriana has the same Dora bike! I loved the picture of Olivia ready to play in the snow. Looks like you guys had a nice Christmas. Thanks for posting all of the pictures!
