More Christmas Eve

Another new thing we did this year....

Since we now have two kids they were

able to exchange gifts with each other!!!

Aspen got Raider his first tool bench. (notice the

drool dripping off his chin)

Raider got Aspen a Belle doll.

Christmas Eve...

We decided to have a quiet Christmas eve at home

alone this year. It was so nice.

Aspen and Raider playing, trying to kill time while

Trent took a nap.

Santa's head elf, Jingles came to our house in

the morning. He brought Aspen new bedding

and thermals.

Jingles brought Raider pajamas, and tractor book.

We actually got to make cookies for Santa this year!!!

This was Aspens first time cause we are usually not

home on Christmas eve.

Our little guy is nine months old!!!!!!

I don't have his stats yet...but,

Raider is crawling all over.

Pulling himself up on things.

walking along furniture.

Smiles all the time.

Just cut his first tooth.

Wants to eat anything we eat.

Never sits still.

Loves Aspen.

Hates getting his diaper changed.

We love love love him so much.

Santa!!!!! Aspen knows this guy was not the real Santa,

his hair was fake. The Santa at Cabelas is the real Santa.

Santa's home away from home.

It was cold so we had to bundle up good....

Christmas Choir Concert

Aspen joined her school choir at the beginning

of the school year. The choir puts on two concerts.

Last night we were able to watch the Christmas

concert. The choir was good, great song choice,

Aspen herself could have done better.
