Christmas 2010 - Part 2

Steve and I got to spend Christmas Eve on our own which was kind of nice. It made us feel like our own little family, which very soon we will be! It was special to spend that time together. We decided to open our presents that morning. Here is Steve with his big gift!


He looks pretty surprised and although I told him what it was weeks ago, I think this is a genuine look of surprise on his face..lol Also Freckles is getting in on sniffing the box here.

Yay! An X box Kinect! Steve was pretty excited. We spent a good part of that day and pretty much every day since playing on that thing. It is actually very fun and you get a good workout on it.

That night we decided to go on a "date night" since it would be our last Christmas as just the two of us. We went to dinner and then to a movie. It was so nice! We haven't done that in forever! I think we should start a Christmas Eve date night tradition!

On Christmas morning we went over to Steve's parents house to spend time with his family. Although his brothers Tim and Matt couldn't be there it was still awesome to see everyone that was there.

Dan and Meghan brought their puppy, Scrappy! She is so cute. Steve wants to steal her.

Willow got pretty excited opening her presents. This reaction was from a Mickey Mouse pez dispenser she got from Jordan and Kim. Priceless. (Notice her dad in the background already trying out Willow's new toys.)

The one picture where she is looking at the camera. So cute! I can't believe she is 2 1/2. She is talking up a storm now and just so adorable.

Steve and I on Christmas Day. The belly was looking pretty big that day!

Steve's mom made us all scarves! They are so awesome! She is very talented.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!! Ours was great and we can't wait for New Years!

Christmas 2010

Steve and I had such a great Christmas this year. We got to see a ton of family and that is always nice. We started off the week before Christmas at my Aunt Jan's house in Chatham, Ill. We got to see my mom's side of the family and it was so fun! Here are Steve and I just hanging out on the couch. (Waiting for the presents to start!)

Me and my cousin, Kris. She's getting married in 2011! So exciting! Gonna be a big year for the 2 of us!

My cousin Mike and his wife Lauren were there with their 3 adorable girls. I cannot believe how big they are getting!! It was so nice to see them.

Meghan was pretty excited about this toy Steve and I got her. I remember loving this thing when I was little, except hers lights up and has glitter! Awesome.

The littlest one, Addison was just so cute trying to open her presents!

When she did get them open though, it was nap time. Check out that 'tude!


The next day we met up with our family to go to the Rams vs Cheifs game. It was very fun (except for the part where the Rams sucked).

Here we are at a tailgate before the game. It was a Cheif's tailgate..I'm so ashamed.

But we went because we wanted to hang out with these lovely people. So it wasn't so bad. My cousins Kris, Cindy and Kris's fiancee, Zach.

At the game, there were quite a few Chiefs fans. And most of them were in my family! Here I am with my Aunt Jan and my mom.

These ladies live in Kansas City so I can forgive them for their bad choices...

But these two! What is the deal?

At least Steve and I were supporting the Rams at the game!

It was so fun to see that side of my family for Christmas! I miss everyone, since we all live so far apart. But its great to come together at Christmas time!
