We had a great Christmas in 2012! We spent time with both families and had some time at home together (although that was filled with sickness and little sleep....). But we had a great time together and felt very blessed to have the two weeks off to spend with those we love. Here are some pictures of our holidays:
Opening presents at our house on Christmas Eve before we left for Brockville. We just got Anneke a couple of small things--this one was a pack of Mickey Mouse & Friends figurines which she loves! They also provided some entertainment in the car with all our driving!
Snowstorm at Oma and Opa's . Here's our car and Mom and Dad's car.
Sharing fruit loops with Opa.
Oma made her famous waffles for breakfast one morning. Anneke ate the first quarter plain and then she saw everyone else putting syrup on theirs.....so she put syrup on hers making sure to fill each hole!
Anneke loves playing in the snow this year! (Last year she did not like it at all). But this Christmas she spent lots of time outside playing with whoever would go out with her!
Daddy made several slides on this huge hill of snow. We had races going down them with Anneke!
Our two beautiful girls!
Playing outside at Grandma and Grandpa's.
Kaelyn having a bath at Grandma and Grandpa's. She was smiling like crazy, but it's hard to be fast enough to catch the smile!
Anneke helped hand out the presents at Grandma and Grandpa's. Uncle Nan gave her the gift and told her who to bring it to. She was super excited about this and would even assist the person in opening their gift--until Daddy opened his harmonica that is. She ran around playing the harmonica, delivering gifts with only one hand/arm, because the other was occupied with the harmonica, and playing it while the person opened their gift. At one point she heard a train go by the house and ran to the front window to see it while playing the harmonica! It was hilarious! We all had tears in our eyes from laughing so hard! We'll have to try and post a video of it at some point.

Playing with her new Leaptop--she can now check her e-mails too!
Kaelyn hanging out! She's growing so fast! I think she enjoyed Christmas too--getting lots of cuddles from her family and giving smiles to everyone!
