Christmas Eve/Day

My parents and Reggie's parents came to our house on Christmas Eve. We met at church and then came home and ate some appetizers. We all woke up to SANTA!!! Reggie was hoping that Maddie would be more excited than she was. Here are some pictures of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Aldeen Christmas

The weekend before Christmas, all of my family got together at my parents to celebrate Christmas. Jason and Marissa, Jenny and Lyle and my parents were all there. It was nice to spend the weekend with everyone. Here are some pictures of Maddie and Emma opening presents at the Aldeen Christmas.

I couldn't seem to figure out how to turn this around.

Here are some pictures from the middle of December. Maddie playing hide and go seek. She likes to hide and count in the corner.

Putting up the tree

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving we put up the Christmas tree. Maddie helped put it up and hang up the ornaments. The fake ones are definitely less work but maybe we will have to start going and getting a real one. Here are some pictures of the fun times!!

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we went to the Aldeen's on Thursday and then Becker's on Friday. Jason and Marissa announced that they are pregnant and expecting in June. I am looking forward to being an aunt again. Hopefully they don't take too much time away from Grandma and Grandpa!!

This year at the Becker's we had 3 people from China come. Reggie's sister Penny works at the U of M, Morris and volunteered to have them stay with them for the weekend since the campus shut down. They had a good time seeing all of the family. They don't get to see that many babies since they are only allowed 1 child.
