Christmas Eve

We visited Grandpa and Grandma Riechmann on the 23rd, so the 24th was spent going to church and visiting with the Walden side of the family.  Mom made a delicious roast and some yummy cheesecake for dessert.  We had a blessed time at the Baby Jesus mass and spending time with loved ones!

The best gifts a mom and dad could get!

Our big boy.  So handsome!

Our sassy princess!

One day I'll take a picture and she won't look surprised :)

Each year we get the kids new jammies to wear for Christmas morning after Santa comes.  This year was a "footie" theme.  Here's a photo of Kendall opening hers.  She's one that doesn't just rip into the present (unlike her brother).

The cousins: Amelia, Addy, Braden, Avery, and Kendall

Papa and Mimi with their crew.

Our family.

Kendall Grace waiting patiently.

Braden excitedly opening his coffee cup change counter.  He loves it!  Guess where most of my spare change goes :)

Mimi, Braden, and Kendall making reindeer food.  We sprinkled it in the driveway and front yard when we got home.  I'm sure the reindeer loved the sprinkles, glitter, and oatmeal!!
