Christmas Parts 1 & 2

We are loving getting to celebrate Christmas all week long! Curt has the week off so our Christmas celebrations started on Friday morning at our house (Santa came early!) 

Lauren is loving her new kitchen - even if Santa wasn't able to get it all put together... luckily we were able to dodge the 'why are daddy's tools in the kitchen?' and 'why didn't Santa put the doors on?' I think next year we may need to have our game on a little better! Note to mom and dad - do not start assembling toys at 10:30 pm... you just never know how long they are going to take. 



Jackson got his 'red truck' - his one Christmas request - I never thought it would be so much fun to watch your kids open up a present you know they long for.

After celebrating at our house we headed up north to celebrate with the Tetzlaff family. This is the best family picture we were able to get before Christmas Eve mass. 

After church the kids had a little dance party with Uncle Brian

and Grandma


while Tami & George slaved away in the kitchen

 After we ate it was time to open some presents - the kids were in heaven.

Lauren had to model everything she got!

 The best gift of the night might just be... these wayfarers & keychain

they came from this guy... need I say more?! (sorry Steve it was the only picture I had of you - had to be included!) 
The party has left & now it is just our family doing a little R&R before we head down to Iowa to celebrate with the Wulfekuhle's. So blessed to have such wonderful family to celebrate with!

  1. Ha ha! I love the kitchen assembly story! Our kids got a kitchen set too! I think the family photo before church is ABSOLUTELY perfect! We tried getting one, but never one of everyone looking!
