Christmas Time Moments

Within the midst of our sleep deprived fog and hamster on a wheel routine, we are still finding the magic of Christmas.  I will choose to remember the moments in these pictures as how our first Christmas season as a family of 5 (!) was celebrated.  

With Oma opening up the days Advent Calendar Gift.  Thanks Oma!
 Opa holding his namesake (and hand)
 Lily wearing her new shirt from Aunt Lolo and trying on her boots.
 Paul giving his Daddy a hug
 Snuggle time between Elise and Sonya
 Where the majority of our time is spent, in our bedroom.

Post feeding - my view of a sweet moment 
 A rare picture of me these days with my babies.
 Building a ginger bread house with our neighbor friend while babies are held in the background
 Oma and Lily playing with the same barbies Sonya and I played with decades ago
 Just hanging out together.  So crazy to me how different they look to me.

  3. Lily is getting so tall and lanky! What a BIG girl. ...Glad there are so many loving arms around to snuggle with the twins. That photo of Paul hugging Nate is too cute.

    Hope you had a nice, relaxing holiday. Frankly, celebrating Dash's first Xmas has been exhausting. Preston wants to document every moment with photos or video! :)
