our christmas...

well, we are recovering from a busy, but actually relaxing christmas! we did our family christmas on christmas eve morning, and enjoyed our tradition of orange danish rolls for breakfast. the boys had some time to play with their new things...then after naptime we headed out to carleigh's place to begin all the family time. we spent the night with my family at carleighs and did our family christmas exchange on christmas morning...then again after naptime we headed out to andy's parents for our christmas with his side. we traditionally spend the night christmas night with his family...and this year we actually stayed two nights and got to have a date night before we went home! we bounced around a little, but honestly had a nice relaxing weekend! then on new years day, we left for houston to visit my granddad and aunt...my dad met us there, and we had a fabulous little time with the kazee family!! now we're home...and our whirlwind life begins once again tomorrow as andy starts a week long class at seminary...deep breath...here we go! :)
the first thing the boys did was pick out a new costume before opening any gifts...i hit the costume aisle just after halloween and got 4 costumes 75% off!! HUGE hit!!!!
