So much for my New Year's goal of blogging 2 times a week. Here we are wrapping up January and i still don't have Christmas on here! Sheesh....What is a mama to do?
In the light of my procrastination and the pure slackage that has been taking place in my blog world, I will quickly summarize our wonderful Christmas holiday in a few (ok a lot of) pictures.
When Jon proposed on Christmas eve 2 years ago, we all had homemade pizzas for dinner. We have decided to keep that tasty and new tradition alive in our family. Below are the kids strategically placing their pepperoni.
Ave naturally had to do a taste test. She's definitely belongs to Jon and I. :)
Here's the muffin enjoying all her hard work :)

Kids in their new PJs
We made Hello Dollies for Santa this year...we were told that these are his favorite!
YUM-O!
Christmas morning the kids were up about 7:15 I think. I'm so glad that they aren't in the "I have to get up as early as humanly possible on Christmas" mode yet. The kids got right to business! Aiden was so happy he could FINALLY open all the gifts that have been catching his eye for a month. Santa brought him a Buzz Lightyear jet pack, a workbench, and a glow doodle. Averie received a little tikes Cozy Coupe (which she stayed in alllllllll day and wouldn't get out unless forced), she got a barbie 4 wheeler as well. We bought the kids so many fun gifts, and it was so much fun shopping for them. Aiden's favorite thing however was from Daddy Jonny. He received LEGOS!!!!!!! He now has a passenger plane, firetruck, boat, and helicopter to start his lego collection. Talk about a boy in heaven!
The gifts after unwrapping. I must admit it's nice to have our house back :)
We had our missionaries over Christmas morning for some homemade cinnamon rolls and a few gifts. They were so shocked that they had gifts to open. That made it so much more meaningful and fun. We got them some t-shirts and a flag football set. We also got them the ingredients to make nutella marshmallow rolls. We made them one night when they came for dinner and ever since they have become famous. :)

It was a wonderful, quiet, and stress free holiday for us. It was so great to be together and just "be." I hope every year is just as amazing!
