Christmas 2014


Boys were insistent that we leave out enough carrots to cover ALL participating reindeer.



Spent Christmas Eve with the Lacinas. Beautiful family picture taken at church.

Gift-opening joys

 

Christmas Morning!


 
Spending Christmas Day with the Konopacks


Jim's family gave us a dual kayak as a gift! We're so excited to use it this summer!

Preparing for Christmas!

Always having a blast at the Livingston's Christmas Party. An early one this year. Darryl, Sue, Tom, Lynn, and Nicole and Rodney are great poker partners, too ;)

Took the kids to an awesome MU basketball game. Photobombed by the guy behind us.

Boy totally loving croutons. Go figure. 

One thing they always look forward to when decorating for any holiday is the collection of themed books that I'll bring out. Christmas produces the most, of course.

Decorating the tree.

Adorable sleeping child.


Making crafts with Grandma Lacina at her church's holiday celebration.


 

Both boys in the nativity play again this year. King Herod and a Shepard.


 

These pictures do no justice to just how EXCITED OLIVER WAS TO SEE SANTA! We love that he comes around each year on the fire truck ;)


Making gingerbread houses with Trenton in his class.




 

Adam the Elf causing mischief? Nope. He's generally just something the boys look forward to discovering each morning. Always hanging out in a new spot.

Oliver was the Clown Narrator in his kindergarten production of "The Little Engine That Could".


  
Trenton is absolutely loving basketball. His game gets better each week. Below, Harrison is about to throw him a pass.
