CHRISTMAS!

Wow we had such a wonderful Christmas and it was SO much fun with Liv!! She was out of control and loved every second of it! We got too many great gifts and toys, including awesome bedding and clothes for little man .... thanks Mom and WAY too much crap for Liv! We were just so grateful to relax with our families and enjoy being together and be able to remember what this really is all about.

Christmas Eve with my family
Oh ... just love her
Opening her Christmas jammies .... she was SO excited about them having "Frosty" on them!
My Mom, Me, & my sisters
Rudolf made an apperance
and then decided to attack Dad the rest of the night :)
We had to get a picture with Frosty ... yes way too obsessed
Everything put together and ready to go Christmas Eve at our house! Seriously my favorite time is after Liv has gone to bed and just hanging out with Matt watching Elf and putting toys together
Christmas Morning!
Elmo and Liv's duck call .... yes I said duck call .... she LOVES Matt's and he always get her a few presents I don't know about .... lovely
This is my favorite picture of the day! Matt opening the CUTEST shoes I got for our little guy .... loving these boy shoes!!
The classic Liv face when opening her gifts! This was the new Ice Age movie which her and Matt love
With her fun new kitchen Santa brought!
At my parent's Christmas day
Liv was spoiled to the max .... one of her gifts was a big trunk of dress-ups which she immediately had to try out
And so did Dad .....
She also got this cow that she is IN LOVE with ... it is hilarious to watch her bounce on it all day ... at least she is getting some energy out right?
We had such a wonderful Christmas and unfortunately I didn't get my camera out at the Nordhoff's .... it is always CRAZY over there with everyone and their kids, but so much fun!! Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
