Christmas Time 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We didn't let having a newborn slow us down at all as far as traveling went. We spent a couple of days including Christmas Eve in Fennville and then headed to Royal Oak for a couple more including Christmas Day. It was great to spend time with everyone as always and the family enjoyed the chance to get to know our newest addition a little better. June's one wish for Christmas was "big socks" (she saw a little girl on a commercial wearing knee high striped socks and had to have them!) and lucky for her Santa was able to find just the right pair. She enjoyed Christmas very much this year, but believe it or not told us she was tired of opening presents less than half way through. Not sure if it had to do with the fact that leading up to Christmas she had been opening gifts on a daily basis between "big sister" gifts and her birthday. We ended up taking lots of breaks but it was like pulling teeth to get her to open the last few. I think she may have just been a little overwhelmed... and I can understand how she felt because I am pretty worn out myself trying to find places for everything and get things back to organized! It is just too much. ANYWAY, here are a few pictures- not many of Elis though. Most of the ones I got of him are on my phone which I have no way of putting on our computer- oops. More coming soon!

Not happy about his Christmas outfit!
