December 2012

Owen had his first Christmas concert with his class at Locust Grove in December.  He was proud to sing all the songs with his classmates for all the parents.  We loved watching too!

We had a holiday gathering of long time friends at our house... plenty of kids to go around!  It was a great evening of yummy food and laughter.

Christmas Eve we had a light snow.... it was beautiful and perfect.

Christmas tree 2012!

Christmas morning...  love these kids.

After our celebration at our house, we made our annual trek over to Grandma and Grandpa Stapler's for the rest of the day to spend with all the family!  It's always a little crazy and loud, but lots of fun.

Owen and Alex...

The weekend following Christmas we went to Grandma and Grandpa Horvath's, also to visit with Seth and Mary and the girls visiting from Ohio!  There's always snow on the hill, and the kids had a blast playing outside...

Seth and Mary brought their dogs so we had the herd of Westies running around.

 Heh.... lap dog.

Love Riley's smile..

Kids gathered round for dinner....

"Christmas" morning.....  ready to open presents!

Bailey... sporting his Christmas bow.

Love this... she's smushable.

Allison was studying for her boards during the holiday... stopping for a quick nap with the Westies.

Owen loves this picture because Bailey is sticking out his tongue.
