Christmas

We were able to spread Christmas out through the whole week this year, starting and ending at our home.

I've gotten pretty good with taking pics of just Cassidy, but obviously I have a little more work to do to get pets and kids! Here's my best efforts to get all our kids under the tree.



We did get a good family pic though...
We also went down to the lights of Christmas in a neighboring community. It's 15 acres of Christmas and amazing light displays as well as food, music and "pony rides". We went down with 2 other families and our friends Cari and McKenzie. Cass was the youngest and unlike the other kiddos, wanted nothing to do with simply being pushed around in her stroller. Oh no, our girl was all about walking around and getting the true experience.

Sam and Cari came over for our exchange and totally spoiled Cassidy...although I think they had just as much fun as she did!

Christmas Eve found us up in B'town with Chad's side of the family.
Of course Cassidy had to help deliver all the gifts
G'ma Kit started a new tradition of giving the kids ornaments every year and it was a big hit!

The whole clan around the dinner table
Cassidy was thrilled about the yummy ribs!

After dinner was playtime with her cousins. The girls are awesome with her and they had a great time.



The other tradition is new Christmas PJs to end the night

We woke up in our own home Christmas morning and had a quiet Christmas day with just the three of us. It was a lot of fun making our own traditions and spending the whole day relaxed and together. Here's some pics of Cassidy putting all her new things to good use!
G'ma and G'pa K gave her a fun tent and tunnel system that has become her "club house" and usually no adults allowed...but lots of toys and babies get brought in!

The blocks are just as much fun as the tub they came in!

Taking her babies and Lulu for a ride in her new stroller. Cassidy loves playing with her babies.
Her big new towel is also a great treat! She loves twirling around and getting wrapped up and "cudde" with Mom and Dad
It was a great Christmas spending time with family and enjoying our new traditions with our own growing family.
