christmas 2013

This should probably have been 3-4 posts, but lucky you gets to read it all in one. :-)

Since we were traveling to spend the holiday with Drew's family we had an early Christmas with my parents.  Asher and Hadley both got completely spoiled!


(and yes, that's the porch door open - it was 70 that day, weird)



Asher may have gone a little nuts over his new Buzz!  The next day we were riding in the car for approximately forever and I kept hearing Ash and Buzz having conversations in the backseat.  Buzz would say "Are you ready for ADVENTURE?!" and A would reply "I'm ready Buzz!"  Love him and love this age.  :-)


Drew and I exchanged gifts as well.  I got a new light for my craft room!  Woot!!  And Drew got this.


You're welcome world.

The next day we headed north.  Drew's family have a big Christmas Eve dinner and I'm so glad we were able to be there.  Asher and Hadley had fun playing with their (many) second cousins!




Santa made a special appearance - Ash couldn't believe when his name was called!  ha ha - bless him.


Hadley was a little more skeptical and did her best to expose the impostor that she believe this Santa to be.  Luckily SC passed her test in the end.


It was a late night for the kids so they both crashed when we got home.  The next morning Asher was pretty excited and overwhelmed by all the presents under the tree!  Hadley was just excited by all the wrapping paper to eat.  We were up a little before everyone else so A started with his stocking while the aunts and uncles got around.


This gift helped hurry them along.  :-)


Christmas is so fun with little ones!  I don't think I opened a single gift until we were a couple hours into the morning and I didn't miss it one bit.  Just soaking in their JOY was enough for me!



As the giddiness wore on Ash did a lot of this…



and Hadley did a lot of this…



I tried to get a picture with them, but they were too busy.


Then Drew tried to get a picture with them and, shocker, they were too busy.  ha!


How cute is sweet Brynn?  So happy we got to visit with her a little too.  For as much as Asher tolerates Hadley he seems to truly adore Brynn.  Maybe it's because she doesn't live with us??  Silly boy.


We kept the Buzz Lightyear fun train a-rollin' with a costume for Asher.  He (predictably) loved it!  Daddy of the year flew him all around the house - to infinity…and beyond!




This was such a wonderful Christmas and we loved being able to celebrate with our families.


We hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas as well!
