What a Christmas

Christmas finally came and now has passed! We had such a good time this year with the kids being a little older and making Christmas morning that much more fun!! We ended up with a crazy amount of gifts under the tree...and almost decided to trim it up even more just to fit them all under it.
This picture couldn't even capture the number of gifts that we ended up having to trickle along the fire place.

Of course we all continue to remember the true meaning of Christmas! It never matters how many gifts are under the tree or how much money is spent, it's about celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and being with family! Eli, Indi, and I were all excited about seeing our two growing nieces, Camille (left) and Callia (right).
Indi and Callia had a great time together! They loved sharing and giving hugs! Whenever Indi napped, Callia continued to say "Anna, Anna," wondering where she was.
Nothing beats the hugs from Grandma! She loved seeing her Papa as well! She is still working on saying Grandma, however, she is getting very good at saying "Papa!"

We were able to quickly get a picture of Indi on Christmas Sunday of her in new, "pre-Christmas", dress from Mommy and Daddy!! Cutie!
Christmas morning was a blast with the girls!! It was so much fun to see their excitement!
I think Indianna was the most enthused about Camille's and Callia's excitement that morning!
Opening gifts was, as always, a crazy mess, but so much fun! It was fun to see Indi's reactions!



















Camille and Callia were also so fun to watch open presents! They had to play with each gift first before opening a new one!
Indi was so excited about all of her new, fun toys...!
...and so was Daddy!

Isn't it crazy how much more exciting Christmas morning is with kids? I can't wait till Jack is a little bigger. It definitely looks like you got everything you wanted and more!

Sounds like you had a lot of fun in Colorado! We haven't been out there in years. It was fun seeing all of the pictures of the girls on Christmas. Cohen got the same farm set that Indi has. :)
