Christmas Eve

9/24/09

We had a very special evening together at the Christmas Eve service at church. It was so neat to sing Christmas carols and learn about the true meaning of Christmas with the kids. Hannah loves to sing Christmas carols, and she belted "Away in a Manger" so loud that people all around us could hear. It was such a special memory!

After the Christmas Eve Service, everyone got to open a present!
Zach loved his moose jammies!

Everyone had to try on their new jammies!





What a great looking group of kids!

Early Christmas Present

12/21/09

It has been snowing quite a bit here, so we decided to give the kids an early Christmas present.

What could it be!?! We had the kids make guesses...Hannah was sure they were getting rockets!
Okay, time to open! I just love the excitement on Hannah's face!
Snow tubes! Zach was telling us all about it in this picture (ooh, ooh, ooh!).
They were all so excited! I think they had just as much fun playing with them inside as they did outside!

Of course we had to test them out right away. We had such a good time sledding. The girls do such a good job walking up the hill each time. They even pull their tubes up all by themselves. The only problem was that Zach wanted to be just like them. He thought that he should be able to walk up by himself, too! He did a pretty good job, but it was definitely MUCH faster if he would let us pull him up in the tube.

Glace Family Christmas

We had so much fun celebrating Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Glace!

What a full house! Grandma and Grandpa with all of the grandkids. Blake, Hannah, Cainan, Brenna, Boaz, Zach, and Ellie.
Our family.
The kids loved opening presents! Hannah and Ellie each got a bear they can build themselves.
I love this expression on Ellie's face.
The kids all got these "talkie talkies" from Great Grandpa and Grandma.

Zach got a lot of "boy" Christmas presents! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma...now you can actually tell that we have a boy by looking at our toys! Zach was thrilled with these Tonka Trucks.
Can you tell he's excited!?!


Hannah and Ellie were so excited about their "princess dolls."


The girls have plenty of dress up clothes, so we decided Zach needed some boy dress up clothes, too. Grandma made some VERY cute outfits for him!
What a handsome little cowboy!
