Christmas Parties

This year's Christmas parties in review ....

Our first party was with the Bussis (my mom's) side of the family a couple of weeks before Christmas. Opening presents for Addison is a long process, she removes one small piece of paper at a time and cannot continue until she gives someone the piece in her hand. Funny, because Noelle is typically our neat and orderly child.

Noelle was so proud of her new games


Christmas Eve, when daddy got home from work after lunch we let the girls open their presents from us.

Helping daddy assemble their new John Deere trike!

We stayed overnight by Grandpa and Grandma Nienhuis on Christmas Eve, ate breakfast together and then headed to the basement for family pictures and more presents!

Emptying her stocking, she was pretty sure that she would find candy in there ... she guessed right!

Sunday we celebrated with my family

Too much excitement for Addison, she climbed onto their new dollhouse and announced that she was going ni-night. :)

We also got together with the extended Geurink family on Tuesday night and celebrate with the extended Nienhuis family on New Year's Day. So needless to say we've been very busy, but we have enjoyed the fun and fellowship and sharing the joy of this season with our families!
