The last couple of days have been so much fun. Our little family had a great Christmas, and we were able to spend time with family, which we love.
On Christmas Eve, we were off to the Thomsens. We had a delicious lunch, and got to open presents. Cole loved his new sit and spin:
We all gave Grandma & Grandpa Thomsen a personalized temple rendering, which really did turn out lovely.
After arriving home and giving Cole a much-needed nap, Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Randy arrived. They gave Cole the most adorable rocking horse for Christmas. He was brave enough to actually pet it, which meant that he really liked it. :)
Halfway through the night, he decided he needed to wear his reindeer antlers.
Christmas morning was wonderful. I was up before everyone else and got to enjoy the Christmas tree and gifts before destruction commenced.
Bryce's big gifts were camping gear - a stove and a dutch oven. We can't wait to use them!
I received that which I love most - gift cards to go shopping and gummy bears!
Cole loved his new toys and clothes.
He really caught on to this whole present thing, and every time we turned around he was opening one of either Bryce or my gifts.
We got cleaned up and headed over to Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Randy's house. We had delicious souffle and biscuits with Great-Grandma Barber and Aunt Carol. We opened gifts, and then it was time for a well-earned nap.
This year was a little different from previous years. My Grandma Allen has had some health problems and was just out of the hospital. Usually, we go over to her house for traditional Yugoslavian food, but she was just not well enough this year. My dad made the food and took it to them, and we stayed at my parents to eat. We're hoping she can get feeling better soon!
I just wanted to express my love and thanks for all of our family and friends this holiday season. As hectic as this Christmas was, complete with colds, flu, and a teething child, it was as lovely as can be imagined, and that is all due to the people in our lives. We love you and hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!!

So cute! We got Sadie and Sawyer Rocking Horses as well for Christmas. Sadie's is pink and Sawyers is a brown one like Cole's.
I hope your grandma is feeling better. I was so sad to hear she was sick. I love you Yell!!! Hope next Christmas has no sick grandma's. That is getting tired. :)
Clara got a similar rocking horse. Does it nay and make clicking noise? Anyway, she was terrified of hers for a few days, but after she warmed up to it, she kept wanting to ride it and squeeze its ears so it would nay.
