Merry Christmas!

We hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas! Here are some pictures from all of the festivities we attended! It felt like we were opening presents all day and eating in between! :)

Here are the girls dressed up for Christmas Eve church:


Santa found us at our new house! He brought Gabi & Maya matching personalized reading chairs with a special book for each. They really like the chairs so far!

We ate breakfast at Joe's grandparents' house on Christmas morning:

Marco doing a headstand during gift opening:

After opening presents at Don & Phyllis's house, we ventured down to Dave & Joyce's house for even more presents!!

A new hairbow from Great-Grandma Fern:

Greer & Marco with his new penguin pillow pet:

Gabi received a huge dollhouse from Grammy & Papa! She was super excited about it and after Joe spent 3 hours putting it together during her nap time, she loves it even more than expected!

Papa Dave sharing some whoppers:

We had Christmas dinner at Amanda & Greer's house in the afternoon. Here are all of the cousins by the tree! This was a hard picture to get!

The dinner was outstanding and the company even better! All of the kids had a great time as well.

It was fun to be surrounded by family! They have made us feel very welcome in our new home and we have loved every minute of being here so far. We went for a long walk today and saw lots of wildlife, including a bald eagle, lots of antelope, deer, a huge jackrabbit, and a hawk. Beautiful place.

Merry Christmas to all! Joe, Tara, Gabi, & Maya
