Christmas was a whirlwind this year, but we had a great time! Matt, Carsten, and I went to the Walker's on Christmas Eve to spend some time with Bob and Karen. We had a great Mexican dinner, and had fun catching up. On Christmas Day, we all went over to Brad, Katie, and Jacob's house to open gifts. After spending some time at the Jones residence, I left to pick up Jayden, while Matt went to visit Grandpa Crawford. From there, we met back up and the Rogers residence. It was a great to see to see everyone there, including James in from California, and Grandma Walker. Jayden was really excited to get to see all of his Walker family people. After a short while, we then headed down to Ferndale on Christmas Day night to see Todd, Lauren, Easton, and Jim and Debbie. We opened presents with everyone, then had some great Chicken Fried Rice that Todd made for us. Around 9:00 pm, we left and headed back for Hudsonville. Santa was coming, since it was still Christmas day, and we had to get the boys in bed. We had a wonderful time. We wish that we had more time at each place we went, but we were very thankful to have been able to see as many family members as we did! Here are a few of the highlights...
On December 26, Jayden woke up very excited to see what Santa had brought for him and Carsten. He even asked in his Santa letter, if he would please bring something nice for his baby brother since he cannot write yet. They boys loved their Santa presents and had a lot of fun playing with their gifts. Matt and I had more fun watching them :) After the boys were done playing with their Santa gifts, we opened the rest of our gifts to/from each other. Jayden insisted we open his presents to us first, which was pretty cute. We really had a great day!
Carsten really loves his Cozy Coupe!
Jim and Debbie were able to come over to visit with us 12/27/13. We opened presents with them at that time. Unfortunately, I really dropped the ball and didn't take any pictures..oops. We had a great time with them, and Matt even got treated to an early birthday dinner at The Derby Station...it was fantastic!
