Sofia, Tyler & Madeline

As of 7:15, Madeline was the only one awake!  That's because Sofia saw that Santa had come at 2:30am and couldn't get back to sleep!  But, it wasn't long after that they other two woke up and tore into the presents...

Then, we trecked over to the Meyer side for Christmas there.  It was a great day with family and way too many gifts, but we are loving all our new toys and clothes.

As you can see, we made quite a haul, and Maddie LOVES her new toy!

Chrismas is in full swing!  We enjoyed all of Christmas Eve with the ENTIRE Richards family.  They kids were entertained by gifts, and it was great to catch up with everyone

Madeline is getting the hang of this (eat the wrapping paper), and it was so great to see our neice, Sylvia, and hear her lovely singing voice!

We have had a great time playing in the snow!  As you see below, it took some help from our amazing neightbors (and their kids) to get everything cleared

Can you believe it...5 months already!  I tried to take some cute "December" themed pictures from an idea I saw on Pinterest (it was a lot cuter on Pinterest).  But, my kids made it cute either way:

And, of course, the other two joined in (fresh from a bath).  This should have been my Christmas card, because I feel like it pretty much sums up my day!

But was a little embarrased that we were watching at times :)

And, we had the Sunday School birth of Jesus program....did you know there were mice and a cat at the birth of Jesus ?!?!  Well, that is what Sofia and Ty were

Of course, Santa visited our neighborhood, and then we celebrated Daddy's birthday tonight.  December has been busy so far, and it keeps getting busier.  Happy Holidays!

Here are some more photographer pics from our late fall session.  You will see the one below in your mailbox, but enjoy the rest of them as well....
