Christmas

This was our year to stay in WI/MN for Christmas. We had a really nice time with my family (as usual!). Our drive to my parent's house was very snowy! It was so fun to have a white Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve at my parent's house with my brothers and their families, and then we celebrated Christmas Day at my Grandma Haglin's house...


Lillian and Rachel enjoying my mom's rocking sheep


My mom made all the girls bonnets like Laura Ingalls Wilder. They were a big hit!


So happy!


We do gag gifts with the adults and some of the older kids joined in this year. This is what Abigail ended up getting...


This is Christmas Day at my Grandma's house. Lillian, Abigail and Alan are helping cousin Ayla with a gingerbread house.



BINGO anyone?


Back at my parent's place, Rachel liked watching this little remote controlled car.



I think they like eachother :)

This past Sunday we finally had the chance to open gifts at our house.

Daniel is holding a little frame that Lillian made for him to bring to work. Lillian is holding an Indiana Jones tree ornament that she also gave to Daniel.

This was THE gift that Lillian had really been waiting/hoping for -- her very own camera! Sometime I'll have to post pictures that she's taken. It even takes videos!



What fun would Christmas gift-opening be without Duplos or Legos?


Poor Rachel, she didn't get one gift! She doesn't seem to mind though...


I KNOW! You can lift your jaw off the ground now!! Your eyes are not deceiving you! DANIEL GOT ME A CELL PHONE!! :) What a guy!!


After receiving 6 dolls this Christmas, I thought it would be fun to take a picture of ALL their dolls (15 to be exact!)... I spy the cutest one!!


I guess this is what happens when you have 4 little girls...

Laura, I LOVE all your tales and pics from Christmas! Rachel is getting sooo big! I looked at your family picture and thought, "Where's the baby?" realizing that she was the cute pudgy girl (not so baby) that Daniel is holding!
