We had fun celebrating Christmas with my family this week. Megan grabbed Stephen as she walked in the door. Jacob and Emily were also very excited to hold the baby.

We opened our presents the first night they were here. Definitely a bit of Christmas chaos! Stephen received some fun toys, books, and clothes. He was not very happy during present opening, so we didn't get any pictures of him opening his gifts. I know he will love them all!

The next day the kids had fun playing with their toys. They put on a concert using the harmonicas and microphone Steve and I gave them. (My sister loves me!) Jacob and Stephen were twins, so we had to take a picture.

That evening we went and got our family picture taken. Considering we had 7 adults and 4 kids, we got pretty good pictures. Emily wasn't much into smiling, but none of the kids were screaming and/or uncooperative. When we got home Steve, Stephen, and I had our picture taken in front of our tree.

On Thursday we enjoyed watching the snow fall outside. Clare and Jacob helped me make some goodies, and Megan took some cute pictures of Stephen.

Stephen's baptism was that evening. On Friday, we hung out at home. The kids helped me put together a gingerbread house.
We also celebrated my birthday and opened Stephen's baptism presents.
We had a great time and are so glad they were all able to make the trip! Love you all!
