Christmas 2012

This holiday season has been a good one. We went to a couple of family parties then spent some quality family time together. It has been a hard year but we have also had many blessings this year too. One of them being the addition of little Matthew. We love him so much and couldn't imagine our family without him. This was his first christmas and he loved every minute of it...well he loved the boxes and paper just as much as his sister did at that age. Reagan was a lot more fun this year. I love that the older she gets she appreciates things more. She had the best time at christmas just because she understood everything so much better. I think my favorite thing was being at the grocery store with her shopping for things to make cookies for santa. She said oh mom you can't forget the carrots for the reindeer. There is a picture of her holding the half eaten carrot that the reindeer ate. She was so excited about that. When asked what she would tell santa she wanted this year she said a blue airplane. She said that everytime someone asked her. And that is what she got. She opened it up and said Oh! it's just what I wanted! it was so cute...you had to be there I guess. We spend christmas eve at my parents house. it was nice to spend that time together. My dad played the accordion. I haven't herd him play that in such a long time, it brought back so many memories. I love it when my dad plays the accordion. I'm excited to see what the new year will bring. I hope you all had a happy holiday.
