Christmas Festivities

Most of these pictures are not good quality.  I was having flash and camera issues so sorry these pictures are not good at all, but you get the idea of the Christmas festivities. 

We had 6 Christmas parties and were able to make 5 of them, so basically these last 2 weeks has been nonstop traveling/partying/celebrating! 

Here are a few pictures from the Luehring family Christmas in Lincoln.  Brynlee, Madison, & Grady.  Crazy kids.

Santa came to visit at Kellan’s house the week of Christmas!  AND, my kids both sat on his lap on their own and smiled!  They told him what they wanted for Christmas and did a great job!  I think it helped that they had done it 2 days before that (but with much more fear) at the Guenther family Christmas and saw all of their cousins do it.  Then with seeing all of their friends do it, they figured they could do it too!  Kellan got some great pics of them!  It’s a Christmas miracle!

On Christmas Eve I took the kids to see The Polar Express at the movie theatre.  What a great idea to show it on Christmas Eve, and for only $3 and free popcorn!  We had never seen it before, so it was super fun! 

We went to mass at St. John’s in Lincoln on Christmas Eve.  The mass was offered for Paul’s Grandpa Ken so his Grandma Betty and other family was there for it too.  Luckily they went over an hour early and saved seats for us so we didn’t have to go so early with the kids! 

Here is our little photo shoot before church:

I finally got smart and made them go outside so the camera would be a little bit better for me!

Our attempt at family pictures after mass… At least we got somewhat of a decent one.  It only took literally 50 tries….

One of Brynlee’s Christmas presents!  This is the only one I got.  I guess I was too busy enjoying watching them open gifts to take pics of it! 

And, I didn’t take any other pictures of our other Christmas celebrations.  So, just picture us having a blast. 

The kids got bikes and helmets from Santa, legos, doll stuff, princess stuff, baseball stuff, husker uniform, princess dress up stuff, endless amounts of toys, games, pajamas, more baby stuff, and so much more!  They are spoiled and so blessed.
