Christmas 2010

Christmas fell on a Saturday this year so we were able to spend Christmas with my side of the family on Christmas Eve and Steve's side of the family on Christmas day. Due to my grandpa Bernie's illness, him and grandma were not able to make it on Christmas Eve but at least we were able to visit with them in the hospital. This made for a different Christmas but reminded us to cherish every day we have with our loved ones and take nothing for granted.

Early Christmas Present for Jacob

We decided to give Jacob his train table a few weeks before Christmas. He is getting enough things on Christmas and Christmas Eve so we figured he would enjoy this more if he got it alone. He loves it and has been keeping him busy!!





Santa 2010

We kept our family tradition going this year. We went to visit santa at his house in downtown Chesterton. We missed Haley this year though. She had gymnastic practice :(
The kids did pretty well around santa. Kelsey was first up and sat right on his lap and told him everything she wanted. Logan was next up and did a great job too! Addie and Jacob did pretty well but were a little unsure of santa. All the kids received candy canes and a coloring book. We then headed to nana and papa's house where we broke into some of the Christmas cookies early...YUMMY!
