Christmas 2015

You guys, I am ashamed with how few photos I took for Christmas. Seriously, I'm upset with myself. In general, I've been bad at taking lots of pictures, so maybe that will be my New Years resolution- take more photos!

Anyways...

Santa came! Gemma got a play kitchen, some Mickey & friends magnets, a sweater, cabinet baby locks and a baby stroller! Tyler and I didn't get anything cause well...Santa was already getting us a house, and he couldn't afford any more than that ;)

After spending some time playing with new toys, we went to my parents for gift exchanging and just to hang out.

Gemma, relaxing on Maisy!

Thank you, Seth, Alissa and Highland!

Thank you for the little Beauty and the Beast mirror, Chloe!!

After spending some time at my parents, we went over to Tyler's parents to spend the rest of the evening!

Getting ready for our family photo (cause...we had matching jammies, duh).

I just wanted to capture Laura's beautiful decorating!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

2015 Christmas Card

This was our first year sending out real Christmas cards! It was so fun and I'm already excited for next year!

I spent a couple hours on photoshop making these babies! I always have the hardest time deciding on a font!!

Christmas 2014

This year Tyler and I spent the whole of Christmas Eve with his family, and Christmas day was split between both of our families. 

I only took a few pictures Christmas Eve...
Christmas Eve was spent hanging out and watching Christmas movies with the Oscarsons. We had a nice dinner of Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, gravy, lingonberry jam and jello.

Tyler's mom always makes/bakes lots and lots of treats and goodies for Christmas and Christmas Eve. I should've taken pics of them all! They were so good!

I just love cozy fires and Christmas lights!

 Libby was our St. Lucia

Christmas morning we went back over at the Oscarson's by 9AM and immediately began opening presents. (They had already started, though it wasn't hard for us to catch up with them).

I love these next few pictures. This was right after Gemma woke up. The pic on the right, I feel like she's looking at me like..."help, mom!" (She's kind of emotional when she first wakes up hahah!)

And then.....
That lip!! Oh I love it so much!!

I had to take lots of pictures of Riley holding Gemma. This was the first time he's shown interest in her! He asked to hold her! Hahah!
Also notice her huge long tongue....she gets that from me! LOL

 Brooks is shocked that Riley is holding Gemma.

My favorite Christmas present this year was the stockings that Rowan made for Gemma and I! She knitted the same pattern for us that Tyler's grandma did for all of them so we now all have matching stockings with our names on it! I might have teared up a little when I opened them.

Around noon we left to head up to my family's house for the rest of the day. There we pretty much just hung out and enjoyed each other's company and ate a yummy ham dinner! 

Gemma and her cousins, Cooper and Highland.
These boys are only 4 days apart! They'll be 2 in just about 5 months!

This year's Christmas was nice, but I'm looking forward to the Christmases to come! It's only going to get more fun each year as Gemma grows and I can't wait!

Merry Christmas to all 

and to all a good night!
