We were able to go up the weekend before Christmas and see Grandma Jan and Grandpa Brad, Lexie and Calli. The kids had a great time, even though our trip was short.
Christmas Eve was spent with Jon's family. They have a tradition where we do a pass around gift as Grandpa Tall reads "Twas the night before Christmas.." it tends to get a little out of control, but the kids, thankfully, kept things a little more calm this year. Here Kristian sits with Scottie as he tries to figure out how this game works..
We also get Christmas Eve pajama's to open. This is always a fun thing to look forward to. 
CHRISTMAS MORNING! We did Christmas morning at our house, and then took a few of our presents with us to open at Grandma Cindy's and Grandpa Talls house...
The first thing Addison said as she walked downstairs to see what Santa brought was "My Bike!"..she was excited to have a bike so she can keep up with Kristian.
Kristian was so excited. He was cute as he walked downstairs and said "He did come..Santa came!!" He got his garbage truck, tow truck, police car, dig-dig, and a surprise "Iron Man" ... everything he asked for! 
Both kids were such a fun joy to watch as they unwrapped and loved every moment that Christmas day brought.
Christmas with the Middleton's:
Grandma and Grandpa thought it would be great that the kids have a kitchen at their house as well (they already have one at gma and gpa's)... the kids LOVE their new kitchen...
**Nevermind the fact that Jon was at work when the kids asked me to put it together...took me over 3 1/2 hours to put it together by myself!!!**I love that Christmas is a time to come together and spend with your family. I feel too often that the true meaning of Christmas gets forgotten and lost in the rush of toys and gifts. My hope is that every season brings to light the true meaning of Christmas and that everyone can remember and feel the love and spirit that Christmas brings. Love you all... hope you had a very Merry Christmas!!
