Christmas 2012

We had a fun and busy Christmas this year!  We enjoyed visiting more family and the girls were spoiled by everyone as usual!  We had to wake the girls up in the morning because they were so tuckered out from the night before!  We opened presents at our house, went to grandma and grandpa Voldens for breakfast and more presents, and then traveled to La Crosse to visit the Volden side!  Here are some pictures from our day!  We hope you all had a great Christmas with your families too!
 
The stockings were filled!  I finally finished making Peyton's stocking this year!  It was a hard one and took forever!
 
The presents ready for the girls to wake up!
 
Peyton just stood there and pointed to the presents :)
