Christmas

This was the best Christmas yet! Aralyn is at such a fun age and of course it was great to have Asher here with us!  Aralyn must have been a good girl this year because she got everything she asked for from Santa - tools and a hippo!

Erin took some wonderful pictures of the kids for Christmas!  Some of the pictures were used on our Christmas cards, but here are a few others you haven't seen.

We had a blast decorating Christmas cookies.  I think more of the icing ended up in Aralyn's mouth than on the cookies.   ...must have learned that from her mom ;-)

Here are some pictures from the many Christmas' we celebrated with our families.

Uncle John and Asher

I wish I could remember what was so funny!

Uncle Michael and Asher. 
See Mike, there was nothing to be scared about - you didn't break him!

This shirt is a classic John statement.

Aralyn got glow in the dark stars which we hung in her closet. 

Playing with her new drill from mom and dad.

Celebrating Christamas at Grandma and Grandpa Bruss's house in our customary pajama attire.

That's right - coolest shirt ever.  You're welcome Erin.

Grandpa "Snook"

Too cute!

We even got to celebrate with the Russells!
