Christmas 2022 (part 1)

After a snow storm came through and changed some of our Christmas plans we adjusted and switched some gears.  We were excited to "break out" and celebrate with people.  Christmas Eve was a low key family day.  

Roy made peppermint chocolate chip scones for breakfast.

We changed Ivy's crib into a toddler bed.  

We went to a Christmas Eve service and Ivy was most excited about the cookies afterwards.  

Hudson adores his Daddy.  Have I mentioned that here before?  

A Christmas Eve family picture 

So thankful for this time together making Christmas memories as a family.  

Greta and Ivy set out cookies and milk for Santa (which they know Roy eats after they are in bed).

Christmas morning!  

Showing off their stocking stuffers...



I took this picture because I want to always remember these days with precious homemade gifts.  

Christmas Brunch with friends at church.  

Ivy's 3rd Christmas 

Ready to rip!  

Ivy got a Plasma Car to wiggle around the house with.  

Greta received roller blades.  

Hudson got a cribbage board and a game for his Nintendo Switch.  

I learned how to play Settlers of Catan and won.
