The holiday season

What a busy time has gone by with all the holiday celebrations! We had a great Christmas season and its was so much fun with Elijah. Next year will be even better because we won't have to open all the gifts I wrapped for Eli...he can do it himself! Below are a bunch of pictures from our holiday celebrations. They are in backward order though because the blogger is retarded. I hope you enjoy the pictures!






At my parents house on chrismtas day the cousins got presents from santa claus! There was a quad, discovery table, and a wagon! They are so much fun and the kids love playing with them.





Look at all those presents! We ended up taking a break halfway through so the kids could take a nap! While they were sleeping the adults opened more of theirs!










These are the totally awesome alpha-peek-a-blocks i wanted for Elijah. They have the letter on each block then an object that starts with that letter on the inside...so cute!





This is me, my mom, and sisters Katie and Jennifer. I make them all bags for christmas. Moms was a bumble bee one with 4 diaper pouches that go inside...its her grandma bag. then my sisters are brown with either pink or blue and they even have pockets on the inside...i was so happy with they way they turned out and they all liked them to so that was good.







Aunt Jen got Elijah a glow worm for christmas because he was our little glow worm while he was on the billi blanket for his jaundice after we brought him home from the hospital.









Our Christmas tree christmas morning.










This is what Santa brought for Elijah









He loves his jumper.








can you see the jars of food on it? Those are what we put in his stocking... practical things like food, pacifiers, and a clip.

Here is what we got for Elijah for christmas... a huge pile of clothes... 4 Berenstein Bears christian themed books that are so cute and then a paise baby cd.

This is one of the things david got for me. Its the creative memories keeper for organizing your papers and stickers into themes... Everyone who scraps needs this its so awesome!

Elijah sitting on Santas lap at the Smith christmas party...no crying this year... we will see what next year brings.

At the coffey christmas I thought it would be nice to get a 4 generation picture of Elijah, David, Dale and Russell... so cute...david needs a flanel shirt though...

And at the tanner christmas party we finally got to see our cousins from Texas and their super cute kids...Cady and Chase. Cady was so cute to watch with the little kids and she loved talking to and playing with Elijah
