Christmas day

 Our Christmas didn't start too early. It was a quiet morning with just the four of us for a little while, which was really fun! I made my boys wear matching Buzz Lightyear pajamas, we opened presents, ate cinnamon rolls, and played with new things!

 The J's came over and there were more things to open, lots of hugging, and even more playing. All in pjs! :)

more visitors!

 Our friends Jennie and Dave were in town for Christmas to see his parents (I love that they live so close to us!), so they came over for pizza and playtime one night!

Barter family party

 We are adorable. Right?

Fun with presents! :)

visiting family

 Several weeks ago, my parents drove down to see my grandma and one of my uncles and his family. We met everyone for lunch! The boys had a great time walking on a treadmill and had really good naps that afternoon!

preschool Christmas program

Just before their break, Benjamin's preschool had a Christmas program. They sang songs, recited little poems, and made adorable star hats! The afternoon ended with cookies and other tasty treats. The kids were adorable and Benjamin did a great job with all the songs!

Lucas-Endert Christmas

 Just before Christmas we got together with Tim's family and their close friends for a Christmas dinner. It was a great night!

 Benjamin, reading to Elle and Noah. Cute!

NC comes to CA!

 At the beginning of December, our friend Tracy came to visit! (Well, she was here for work, but stayed for fun with us!)

 

Then, as luck would have it, Todd and Laura were in town as well!

It was great to see our friends, and Benjamin loved it too!
