December 25 - 21, 2011

This was a very different Christmas than normal, but with all the challenges, we still managed to have a very nice one. Eric and I are very lucky to have not only wonderful family and friends, who have helped out more than I can thank, but we have two, happy, healthy, beautiful children for which we are very thankful for as well. Enjoy!

The aftermath of opening all of their gifts. Colton received a lot of gifts from us and grandparents, but he has played with ALL of them. Kinley received some fun chew toys and new clothes.

Kinley loves being on her belly because, although she can't crawl yet, she can get anywhere she wants by rolling around. She loves to get all of her brothers toys.

This is such a sweet picture. Colton has a child size chair that sits next to my recliner. One night he was looking at my leg, which he calls "Mommy's owie," and asked if he could kiss it better. Colton is very tenderhearted, especially towards me. This picture says it all.
