Christmas 2011 {Part IV}

Over New Years weekend we went to my mom and stepdad’s house to celebrate Christmas. We got to see my brother and his family too!

There are a lot of pictures on this post. I’m putting these on here for journaling. I understand if you don’t want to scroll through all of them!

My mom’s Christmas tree… and Hailey

 

Grandma and Hailey

Hailey had fun doing puzzles. She put them all together many times.

She also had fun putting things in Grandma’s mailbox… including a clementine.

My mom and the pups

Gregg and Kyle talking over an old newspaper with their coffee

Saturday morning our good friends Justine and Bryan came to visit. We finally got to meet their baby girl, Lilyana!

They even brought a gift for Hailey.

Hugs for the baby

I made Lily a new hat for Christmas. She already has a couple others she got at the baby shower. Justine and Bryan let me use her as a little model for my Etsy shop! She’s just so adorable

 

Hailey giving Lily kisses. What was cute is Lily is drooling a little because, well she’s a baby! Some got on Hailey and she had to wipe her mouth. She then got Lily’s blanket to wipe her mouth too.

Bryan and Justine…

She is such a good mama!

Time to say goodbye. We wish we lived closer to them! We love hanging out with them

Naptime for Hailey

That night we went to my grandma and grandpa’s for my grandpa’s 90th birthday party! I will write more about the party in another post. For now, here is a picture of our whole family (minus one cousin)! There are four generations in this picture

Sunday my brother and his family came over and it was time to celebrate Christmas!

My mom made some tasty lasagna for dinner. Lots of noodles cooling off!

Lots of great gifts!

   

 

 

The kids got my brother a cute board with all of his favorite things on it. They were all talking at the same time, telling him what was on it. He loved it!

Alex hog tying Westin… Ah another Christmas memory

Kyle and Hailey

All the guys got a very special present… Zubaz!!

Kyle was so excited!

He put them on over his pants right away!

 

I made all the kids sock monkey hats! They looked so cute

Time for dinner

We had an awesome time! We are so thankful we can see so much of our family around Christmas.
