Christmas Celebrations

With 2015 already here, our Christmas celebrations have come to an end.  This was a different year for us this year with changes coming next year.

On Christmas we stayed home and Abigail enjoyed seeing what Santa brought her.  Her instant favorite was big girl underwear.   Another big hit that will be used for years is an indoor trampoline.   It was bigger than expected so we will have to change some things in the basement,  but it is worth it to see her jumping and having fun.  I think it will save all of our sanity this winter!   Overall we had a great family day of playing with new toys and relaxing.

That night my brother Andrew and Erin got into town from Oregon.   Gosh it was great to see them both.  The 26th was a travel day as we headed back to Mishicot for our last Bennett family Christmas there.  Scott and family joined us for an afternoon of visiting and gifts.  The girls all had fun and it was nice to see everyone together.   Kind of strange to think that next year we wI'll be celebrating in the new house!  Yeah for us on not having to travel for both family celebrations.

This weekend we trekked down to Matt's family and had a wonderful time.  Abigail warmed up to everyone and was quite entertaining!   Once again the food , gifts, and time spent was great.  Abigail was also able to share her bandaids with everyone here!

So overall another great Christmas is in the books.  We all survived ..... which is always the goal.   With 2015 here, our family is looking forward to what is ahead......2015 will be another great year full of love, fun, craziness and adventure!

Below are the pictures that I managed to take during all our celebrating. ...enjoy!
