Christmas 2012

I will start by warning you this will be a long post with lots of pictures.  With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I failed to make separate posts so I will just combine them all in this one!

We had a fun-filled season celebrating Christ's birth with family and friends!
It began with decorating the tree...



Next, we enjoyed our annual Bolinger cookie baking day.  Jackson could not stay out of the kitchen with all of those sweets calling his name :)








Sadly, next on the calendar of events was the Flu :(  Lily came down with it first, then Mommy, then Jack, and Daddy ended with just a head cold (thankfully).  So, if we all look a little ragged in the following pictures, that is why.

Christmas morning!






Reading a letter from Santa regarding a gift that did not quite make it on the sleigh!  However, he made arrangements for a store pickup the following day :)  Hope this doesn't happen again in the future!



Christmas day dinner at Grandma & Grandpa B's...




Bolinger Christmas!



The next morning after our Bolinger Christmas celebration, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Bill, Jacob, and Sam arrived to celebrate New Year's with us!  Here are some pictures of our time together...
Morning after they arrived...iPad & Kindle time!

Happy New Year 2013!


Time for some New Year's Snow Day fun!

Our last event was a trip to Kaleidoscope in Crown Center.  The kids loved having some time to use their imagination!




We sure enjoyed this holiday filled with laughter and love!
