Christmas 2012

I can't believe Christmas is already over!  There is always such a build up to it and it seems to go by so quickly.  We actually have one more celebration left, but we had quite the run last weekend!  Earlier in the month we celebrated with Bill's family (my step dad) but unfortunately I did not get a single picture.  Then last weekend we had the Schmidgall Christmas on Saturday with Cory's parents and brothers (and their families)....9 grandkids makes for a fun party!  It's a tradition to have cheese and dessert fondue so we of course ate a ton.  Sunday we had our own little family Christmas, but I did not cook as we were still full from the night before.  It was just nice to be able to have our own celebration as a family of 4.  Kane got to open his presents after his nap and he helped Landry open hers.  She obviously didn't show interest in the gifts, but just enjoys watching whatever her brother is doing.  Monday we traveled to Des Moines and spent Christmas Eve at my mom's house and had the annual steak and crab legs and opened gifts that night and then spent Christmas day at my dad's and had a taco feast (fish and regular tacos).  We are definitely well fed over the holidays!  Now it's time to get back into the workout routine!  It was fun this year to see Kane's reactions to his gifts, but the kids were definitely spoiled!  They must have been good...

Here are some pictures of our wonderful and hectic holiday!  (and a few random extras toward the end)
