1st Christmas

This Christmas was quite an exciting one. Xander and Zane's First Christmas!  This was a day that we have waited for, for quite a long time!  For Poor Zane, it wasnt super thrilling, but he got a lot of attention!  For Xander, it meant a lot of presents to help open.  He didnt quite get the hang of the wrapping paper, but enjoyed his new toys!  Both these boys are definitely spoiled!  But with love!~  Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle B came to watch the boys open their presents and have some yummy Christmas breakfast (French Toast is the tradition in our family)







The wrapping is always more fun!







Xander couldnt resist showing his little brother some Christmas love!  He just loves him so much!  I hope they will be best friends when they grow up!

Xander's sweet birth Grandma and Grandpa Vedral sent gifts for both him and Zane as well.  (so sweet!)

He loved this puppy that they gave him.  


These are the cute outfits they sent.  



After a beautiful morning, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Seals house to play with the Seals family and enjoy Christmas Dinner. Sweet Livy seemed to have enjoyed her Christmas morning too!
 My Dad's Christmas wish was to have a picture of the Nativity with his sweet Grandbabies.  The photo shoot was quite entertaining trying to contain 3 babies all under the age of 1.  We will call it our Christmas miracle that we got a few good pics.  
 My parents thoroughly enjoyed getting Christmas Gifts for their grandbabies.  Xander and Livy both got cute little push cars and fun rocking horses that make horse noises.  They were very cute and had a lot of fun!



For entertainment, Uncle B helped Livy Girl learn how to do the robot.  


Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Eve 2012


For Christmas Eve, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Seals' house.  Grandpa got Xander all excited for his "First Christmas Ever!"

Xander and Zane got to open one present each and then one together.  Daddy so graciously helped the boys open their gifts!












Brotherly Love at its best

Of course the presents were Christmas Jammies and a Christmas movie.  So Cute!  Then we hurried home with excitement of what Santa would bring the next day.  Of Course, Eldon and I were much more excited that our two boys who were completely oblivious to what day it was.  But they had a good time anyways! 

Merry Christmas!

Santa Claus and the Merry Go Round

I just have to give a shout out to Bass Pro Shops for offering entertainment for free to children.  We went to Bass Pro for Santa Claus pictures, and then Xander got to ride his first Merry Go Round!
Xander wasnt sure at first


and then.....awe, Love Santa!

Family photos

My mom, Grandma June, Uncle Steve
The whole group
My grandmother's request for Christmas, was to have family pictures.  We havent taken large family pictures in almost 10 years or so.  We have had several new additions with spouses and children joining the family.  From these three (and their spouses of course) came quite a good looking bunch!

Just the Grandkids and Great Grandkids

All together



The Seals Family

The Goebel Family

The Next Generation

lol, poor Grandma has her hands full.  Think we should let  babysit them all at the same time?
