I can not believe how fast Christmas came and went. Working only 2 days a week allowed me to enjoy this Christmas season more than usual. Working at Costco usually makes life so crazy around the holdiays that it is hard to make time to actually stop and enjoy the season. We decorated the house a little early, as usual, to make Christmas last longer. We were able to go look at Christmas lights with the kids like we do every year, and Sophia made it an hour and a half, which was longer than I expected. And this year, Christian drove so I was able to REALLY enjoy the lights!! Keizer lights are so fun! Christmas Eve at my parents was a blast, as always. I love getting so see the Seifert side of the family and catch up with them since years are busier and busier and I rarely see them. Sophia had not met everyone or had only met them once so it was fun for everyone to see her, all friendly and smiley. :) I love staying up with my mom and dad helping them wrap all the gifts and fill stockings. Most of us stay the night at my parents, and Lindy, Dan, and the boys come early in the morning. Christmas at my parents is my favorite thing EVER. I did not take as many pictures as I usually do, but we had so much fun and I love my family.
This is my dad, on the left, with his brothers, sisters, and mom. We took like 10 pictures of them because they were just laughing so hard. They are all so much fun.
I got my green converse!!

A full living room of smiles and laughter, coffee and cinnamon rolls, big and little kids
I love that my mom gets the kids matching PJs. The little boys had matching Pajama bottoms, the little girls had matching footsie Pajamas, and all the women (Jess included) had matching PJs too!!!
My mom, sisters, Jess and I ALL MATCHING!!
Mom and her matching grandgirls, so much fun :)

The gift we got for Christian, his cowboy 22 :) It was SO hard keeping it a secret!!!
But it was so worth it when he opened it up.
