Christmas with the Herman's

This year we spent Christmas in Arizona so we opened presents with my parents the weekend before Christmas. We spent the night and played games, as well as decorated sugar cookies! Opening gifts with Grandma Herman

Elizabeth was like this during opening presents in Iowa and in Arizona. I don't know if she didn't like all the attention, as she is truly shy, or if she was just curious, or confused or just being unkind, but she glared while opening presents almost continually!

Both of us are wearing new Christmas items - love my cuddle bug!

Holding "Holly" her new Build-A-Bear - I bought them the day after Thanksgiving as they were only $5, but then waited for the kids to open them and then we all went to the store and they stuffed them and we used a coupon to buy some clothes :)

Creative fun with Aunt Alicia - SHE IS THE BEST at doing creative cooking and art projects with the kids that I detest! SO THANKFUL! Group shot - my wonderful siblings!
We love you all and are so thankful David and Elizabeth have such wonderful aunts and uncle! We are just waiting for some cousins! (Just kidding - sort of :) )
Don't my kids look so excited?
I wish they were a little more obsessed with themselves and loved to see themselves in pictures! :) They just don't seem to care!
We had a gingerbread competition - the boys vs. the girls. This is the boys house.
This is the girls' house. You can be the judge! :)
