Christmas!

Here is our Christmas in photos...enjoy! Lydia got an early present from her favorite baby sitter Mackenzie, it was a pack n play for a baby...well Lydia got a little Jealous of the baby and kicked her out and took over!
Lyd had a lot of fun playing in the paper with daddy...that is mid air, she was totally fearless!

All the presents in front of our tree...we stayed the night at my parents though so I had to get atleast one pic of our tree (ha ha ha!)



Opening her Christmas Eve jammies!


Can you tell she had been crying, that was after the first attempt to put her down I think she was so excited for Santa to come so she couldn't sleep (ha ha ha!)





My little brother Ty went to Christmas Eve midnight mass...He didn't really dress like that but we thought it was pretty funny!


All the presents under my parents Christmas tree!


Lydia and Tyler dancing to "Yo Gaba Gaba" Lydia is so obsessed with the show it is hillarious!


Derek opening presents!


Mom and Dad enjoyed having everyone at the house, it felt almost like when we were younger (minus staying up and watching "a Christmas Story" 7 million times.


Lydia had to try on every pair of shoes she got, and she got three so it was pretty cute. Here are he new kicks!


The gift that keeps on giving!


Lydia was so excited about her dress ups from Nana and Grandpa Hardman


Lydia was so excited about her new kitchen, and so is mommy (now hopefully she will mess hers up instead of mine!)



Chris saved all the wrapping paper to take over to his parents for the kids to play in...it was so cute.

YES we got Chris' mom a snuggie, she is always cold and still likes to read and sew so it was funny and yet practical (ha ha ha)


Grandma and Grandpa Knudsen got the kids these darling easels from IKEA, They were in Heaven!

Lydia LOVED this present!


Uncle Clint taking Lydia for a ride on Bode's cool new scooter!

Lydia playing with her new vacuum from Nana and Grandpa Hardman and...


Daddy playing with his new Christmas Present too!
We had such a great Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with Chris' family. We went bowling, had a great dinner and had dessert and sang the Hallelujah Chorus with extended family.
We spent the night at my parents, opened presents, took naps and saw Sherlock Holmes.
But the best part of Christmas this year was getting to talk to DARIN!!!! He sounded so good, and you can't help but feel so blessed to know that he is safe and doing the Lord's work.
Merry Christmas, hope yours was Merry and Bright!

Baby Girl

Baby Girl
This is our baby girl at 16 weeks. It was such an amazing thing to see her moving and count all of her fingers and toes for the first time. I know I bawled and Chris won't admitt it, but he was pretty emotional as well.

It's a girl!

It's a girl!

She's going to be a dancer
