we hope you all had a beautiful christmas with your family and friends! we sure did! it could not have been more perfect for us. God is so good!
we were so happy to have the peseks at our house a few days before christmas... including our anniversary ;) it really couldn't have been any better. we got to enjoy last minute shopping and late night talking, the kids were so much fun to watch together!

apparently to all the neices and nephews, this is one of their favorite traditions... movie night in the garage.
waiting for santa to come!!
before breakfast we sang happy birthday to jesus!
gramps and his boys, with one more coming in march. it should be enough for a family football team right?
then christmas morning we packed up to host christmas at our house for the pagels for the 3rd year in a row. uncle albie surprised us at our front door... it meant so much!

this christmas we realized how blessed we were to have such a deep and rich faith and a happy family! we pray this new year ahead of us only brings us closer to Christ as well as one another!
yes this may have been a picture overload, but it was such fun to capture this christmas to remember.
