Christmas Eve and Morning

We hope everyone had as fun of a Christmas as we did in our house!  It was definitely a white Christmas with all of the snow that we got!  The girls got lots of new stuff for their dollies this year and are having fun playing with it all.  They even got their doll horses from Santa that they asked for.  I told Olivia that her dolls must have been really good and she replied "Well that's because they can't move!" What a silly girl....but I guess it's true right :) We celebrated Christmas eve at my aunt and uncles house, Christmas day at our house, and then we were off to grandma and grandpa Volden's house and then to Lacrosse to visit my grandpa and cousins. Here are some pictures of our time with everyone!

 All dressed up and ready for Christmas Eve!






 Erin, Joel, and Dave played some Christmas tunes on the piano and guitar and we all sang along!

Christmas in Illinois

We had such a fun Christmas in Illinois this year!  We had a party out at the cabin with the whole extended family and the girls had so much fun playing with all of the kids.  We had our Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Stenzel at their house the next morning and Kade, Noelle, and Karter got to sleep over at grandma and grandpas house too so the girls were excited to have a sleepover with their cousins.  The girls were spoiled as usual and got so many nice gifts from everyone!  Here are some pictures from our Christmas.

 New books!
 



 Cars for their dolls they got from grandma and grandpa.  They LOVE them and drive them around like crazy people!  I hope it isn't a look into their future driving skills when they are 16!
 Peyton loves puzzles!
 
 Hats Auntie Kim's friend made for them.  They are so adorable and they love them!
