It's Christmas Time!

I love this time of year! It's especially fun now that we have kids. Watching their faces light up with excitement over anything that is Christmas-y at all makes this time of year so amazing! Max is really fun this year too. He is old enough to understand everything and you can just tell that it is so magical for him. Ah, to see the world through the eyes of a child.
Here are some recent holiday pictures and videos for you to let you know what's been going on around here this year.

Our attempt at getting a good picture for our Christmas cards this year. I did them last minute last Saturday and these are what we had to choose from. I think these pictures really show off their personalities, especially Max.








Curt and Max adding their homemade star to the tree. Afterwards Max proclaimed, "The tree is FINALLY beautiful!" (I just realized that the chair they are standing on looks like its about to buckle. I assure you it wasn't, lol)


Max during his Christmas program at preschool. He was so cute! He made sure to hold his star way up high and you could tell he loved being on stage!



A family picture attempt afterwards,


Aspen helping me wrap presents at home. I sacrificed quite a bit so she could get some practice crumbling it up. It was instant entertainment for her!



And the Santa picture for 2008. Max asked for a Batman watch and a robot. I was a little worried about how Aspen would do, but she didn't seem to mind him at all. I think having Max there with her helped though. She can't help but smile when he's around. She loves him, lol.
