Christmas is over!

All the energy put into getting ready for Christmas week and now it is over. Crazy! I am looking forward to hanging out here at home with my boys! Yeah for hanging out all morning in PJs! I am sure that you are interested in knowing how we spent our Christmas week?!

This was an interesting Christmas, as this was a our first in Ohio, in a new house and being on staff at a church. Our week started on Monday with a trip to Indiana for our annual Progressive Dinner we have with Dave's family. It is always a great time spent with family laughing and catching up on their lives. I love it because there are a bunch of kids Alex's age. It is always fun to watch him interact with his own kind!

Here is Alex with his cousin's Jack and Julia

This is Dave's cousin's son, Luke. He is 4 months older then Alex and such a cutie!

And our new cousin Katie. She is Luke's sister and is three months younger then Elijah! Oh the fun these kids are going to have together.

Dave received this hat in the gift exchange. Needless to say this picture is one of his favorites, he loves to see his boys sporting the black and gold!

Well, Tuesday we made out way back to Ohio since Dave now has responsibility at the Christmas Eve Service. My parents flew out Christmas morning to California to see my brother and sister in law for Christmas. Since they flew out of Columbus, we got them for Christmas Eve. We decided to open gifts while they were with us since we were headed back to Indiana Christmas morning. Alex had a blast opening gifts!

Alex wore himself out opening all his presents and playing with Grandpa J! He is sporting his new hat! Dave got one just life like it!

Christmas morning we loaded the car once again to head back to Indiana.

I love this picture of Jack and Eli. Oh so sweet!

Here's Millie enjoying one of her presents with her big sister Maddy.

We did stay in Indiana until Saturday before heading back to Ohio. It was good to stay in one place for a few day. But now here we are, getting back on schedule and finding places for all the new toys. We are also enjoying have Dave around this week. With the office closed, we get his company! Fun times with Dad!
