Christmas

This Christmas was one we will never forget! From passing around a virus to getting snowed in for days, the craziness just never seemed to stop.

On the Sunday after Christmas, everyone was finally well enough to exchange presents. This picture sums up the chaos of opening tons of gifts with a five year old and three others under the age of 3. Paper flew and pandemonium ensued!

It's nice to have an older boy in the family who can be our toy tester. John Michael, my nephew, received a Little Tikes basketball goal a few years ago and loved it so much that Mom thought Casen needed one. Here is John Michael assisting Casen with his gift.

My nieces received some very girly ride on toys that Casen just had to test out. This is Juliet and Casen going for a spin.

After attempting to head to Stillwater a few days earlier, we finally fish tailed (literally) out of my parents driveway and made it to Chris's parent's house. The snow finally let up and we enjoyed our visit with Chris's family including his brother and sister-in- law who were in from South Carolina.

One of Casen's favorite toys was his new bench that his Grandpa made him by hand.

The cool thing is that Chris's Grandpa had made him a similar bench when he was little. Here are the boys siting on their benches together!

Even though it was a crazy trip to Oklahoma we had a great time with our families and also are so thankful for the true meaning of Christmas...Jesus Christ!
