Christmas 2009

This post is a little late, but I have been a little busy with 2 babies! We had a great Christmas this year! Last year we started some traditions, and we were able to carry most of them on this year. We went to Christmas Eve service at church, ate Chicken 'n' Dumplins on Christmas Eve along with peach cobbler (odd tradition, but it is one of my favorite meals), wore new pjs......The only Christmas Eve tradition that we broke was burning sparklers outside. It was very rainy so we did not think it was worth the trouble. Christmas day we woke up early and watched Klara open all her gifts. We only got her 4 things because we knew she would get plenty from the grandparents. Little Zach just chilled in Alex's lap and watched Klara's excitement. Later that day we went to my parents' house and spent time with them and my sister's family. That pretty much sums it up!

We were not able to get a good family picture this year. Klara was having a "terrible 2" moment, and Zach was a little fussy. Klara's face is rotten! She did not want her picture taken at all!

Ashley and Klara flying Wade's helicopter......I broke Alex's!

Klara's favorite present....cheap necklaces!

Zach just chillin'

Attempt #2 at a family picture....This one is a little bit better! Klara is still not happy and tried to hide behind her "EI." (That is what she calls monkeys for some reason.)
