Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful blessed Christmas this year. It didn't seem too crazy busy for us. We were able to spend a lot of time with each of our families and also enjoy time at home with just the four of us. It was perfect.

Before Christmas Eve church service

Anxiously awaiting Christmas Eve surprises after church

This was our first year opening new PJs on Christmas Eve. I think it will be a fun tradition to start... Kyle probably doesn't like it considering the PJs I bought myself. hehehe... they were SO comfy! He, on the other hand, couldn't look at me without laughing.

"why yes Santa, I've been a good girl." Love this pretty girl!

Watching for Santa's sleigh!

I found Camden passed out about 10 minutes after going to bed. He loved snuggling with his Sully from Aunt Jill.

Our stockings spell CAKE....

I think this year was a first for a lot of new traditions. Growing up my mom always decorated the table for Christmas morning and she still does. Kyle and I love it and look forward to seeing what the table looks like each year so we decided we would carry on that tradition in our family from now on. Here's our first one!

Christmas Morning!

"Eliana, can you believe Santa came?!"

This face pretty much sums up Camden's emotions over the last 3 days. He is THE most expressive little guy I've ever met. His excitement sure brings the Christmas spirit to my heart.

We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. I think we did it 3 times because Camden enjoyed blowing out the candle so much.

Camden asked for a stuffed monkey and Santa delivered... He was rather tired in this picture from waking up at about 5:30 in the morning!

Miley waiting patiently for her bone from Santa

As you can see from this picture, our family room looks like Babies R Us now :-) Eliana loves playing with her new singing vanity where she can put on make up and 'get ready'.

Boehm Christmas Celebration!

Merry FIRST Christmas to sweet Eliana!

Thank goodness for Uncles! Uncle Lance and Uncle Chad kept Camden busy as he waited not so patiently to open gifts.

Family stockings at GG and Papas

I think the phrase "can I open my presents now" was said at least a hundred times last Saturday!

Sneaking a peek....

This was the last picture I got of the day... my camera battery died :-( Wish I would have gotten pics of gift opening... these kiddos got spoiled!

Thank you GG and Papa for making Christmas so special. We had a wonderful time at your house on Saturday and enjoyed having you join us for Christmas Eve service. We love you!

Fowler Family Christmas!

Uncle Tyler helping Elle open her stocking. (Thank you Uncle Tyler for an Ahhhh-Mazing dinner - you are such a good cook)

Camden opening his Grinch surprise

Kyle was excited about what was in his stocking. I got cooking utensils and he got liquor.... nice.

Gramma coordinated Reindeer Games for the kids to play while waiting for dinner to start. It was hilarious! The pic below is the kids throwing snowballs aka marshmallows at uncle Tyler.

I think the games were a huge hit and kept them busy at least for a little bit!

I gotta give props to my mom for probably the most incredible table theme I can remember. Her theme this year was The Grinch.

You can see it in the mirror, but she also had a 5ft singing grinch in the corner....

Cam's favorite part of dinner...

The kids' table

Girly girls

Evelyn showing Eliana her new hairdryer...

A new adorable swimsuit! I don't know if Daddy will be this happy when Eliana grows up and starts wearing real bikinis.

Camden trying on his new towel for VACATION! Thank you Gramma and Grampa for a family vacation to Zehnder's Water Park. I think my favorite part of this picture is Julian and my mom giving each other hugs in the background. Too cute!
