We had a really good Christmas that year!

It was Ethan's first Christmas!

Happy momma with her Emma! 
Marion had waited forever for her! We are so lucky to have Emma!

We had a great party at Marion's and Monty's!


We stayed home Christmas Eve!

Ethan of course loved the Little People nativity set!


I made a turkey dinner!


We got a plate and mug for Santa that year!


Christmas morning!
It was funny when I took this picture! The flash set off a Fur Real cat that Ayla got from Santa, so the presents were meowing!


Ayla got a Frozen castle!


The girls in their matching Frozen Pj's they got the night before!


Ethan got these T-rex Pj's the night before!


Ashlyn got a scooter!
My Dad was there to join us! He stayed the night! He lives with us on the weekends now!

That evening we had Kurt's side of the family over for milk and cookies!

I love how you can see Suz talking to Ethan! You can also see Morganne eating a cookie!


Chris, Krista, Brooke, Ashlyn, Morganne and Ayla!
My nephew Kurt got an awesome lava blanket that year!


My nephew Kurt!


Me and Brooke!


Ethan opening his present!


Ashy loves small figurines and Charlie Brown! Perfect!


Ayla loves Frozen and Art! This was an art kit! Perfect!

We had a great Christmas that year!

Now I want to share just a few more things...

My favorite thing that Santa brought was the Disneyland Little People set!


Ayla with the Fur Real cat! Ashlyn playing with the Elsa and Anna castles!


Ayla really loved her cat! 
It has a sensor to attack the toy!


Ashy also got a Fur Real cat that bounces and spins!


Ethan got a really cute barn! That he loved to stand on!


Ethan was getting really good at getting around!


He was starting to walk! I can officially say he started walking at 10 months! He took 4 steps on Christmas Eve! We were all in the living room and Ethan was holding onto the ottoman! He then just turned around let go and took 4 steps! It was so sudden! We were not expecting it! I was so proud of him!


The girls right before bed on Christmas in their new robes!


Ethan playing with his barn! I love that his arm is out of his shirt!


Ayla in her shark Pj's she asked Santa for! 
She actually wanted shark Pj's the year before but didn't tell Santa until the night before Christmas, so she had to wait for a year!


We got Ayla a new dress for her piano recitals!

We had such a great Christmas! 

This was fun to reminuse about that Chirstmas!
