December 2015

We arrived home from our California/Arizona trip on November 30th so we had to jump right into Christmas.  Nate had to head out of town immediately so the kids helped to get the house decorated except for the Christmas trees.  We had to wait for Nate to do those.  Because we decorated late December seemed to fly by.  We had 2 Christmas parties, a piano recital, and lots of shopping and wrapping that occurred before Christmas eve.  Honestly it is all sort of a blur.  Good thing we have pictures to remind us all about it!!

Luckily we had lots of snow in December for a white Christmas.  This is Ashlyn with the snowman she built all by herself!

Kohl family Christmas Party.  Minute-to-win-it games!

Our Christmas cat!

Hess Family Christmas Party - The Nativity

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Day!

Her American Girl doll (actually a the Target knock off, but she doesn't know the difference!!)

More Legos! :(

Because we missed out on a traditional Thanksgiving Day meal we decided to do it for Christmas.  Smoked Turkey! Yum!!

New Slippers!

Christmas was much more low key this year mostly because I didn't have the energy to do much.  :)  But I still think it was a great Christmas for all of us!!
