We began with our annual christmas cookie baking day at Darlene Spenglers. We made 4 different kinds of cookies that day. Evie and Lindsey were able to join us this year! Sydney did a great job unwrapping the kisses and painting and decorating the cutout cookies. She loves this kind of stuff.

Picking out the perfect cookie to sample
Cole had a great time with Aunt Lindsey and Aunt Rachel
Our decorated christmas tree
Sydney has loved playing with the nativity set! I walked into the room one day and this is what I found. If you look closely, you'll notice Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus and the shepherd boy are taking a little nap. It's tiring hanging out in a stable all day.
Our little santas!
We visited Great Grandmom right before Christmas and the kids gave her a picture we had taken of them.
Ryan's sister, jess, was able to come home from Texas for a few days and we all took a trip to Jim Thorpe. It was a chilly day but we had a good time hanging out together! Here's our bundled up Cole.
The Cousins!
Taking a peek at bundled up Miriam!
I just love this pic of Syd and her Pop-pop
The Creeden Clan
Jessica and her nieces and nephews
The first ones to dig into the Christmas cookies!
Cole was sweet talking this doll! He's good with the ladies, well dolls atleast.
One handsome man all decked out in his christmas best!
Sydney made it up on stage to sing with her class but as soon as they started singing she had a little meltdown and came and sat with mommy.
We were so excited that we were able to spend some time with John(Ryan's friend from JMU) and Jenny
We spent Christmas at my dad's. Here are the kids Christmas morning while we were waiting for Aunt Rachel, Uncle Dave and Aunt Lindsey to arrive!
Sydney's first barbie
The Creedens
The Housels
We gave Sydney the dollhouse my dad had built for us girls - she loves it!!
My dad and Baxter were quite pooped after opening presents. You sleep wherever you can find space!
Cousins! : )
Aunt Darlene playing with Syd and the dollhouse
Hard at work!
We weren't prepared for the amount of snow my dad got, so we didn't bring any snow clothes, so we had to make due. Sydney lasted a lot longer out in the snow than I did.
We rang in the New Year with some friends at a Toddler New Years Eve Party at our house. We even had a count down at 7:30pm! If you know me, this is my kind of New Years Eve Party. I was actually in bed by 10:30 that night. Don't worry, my neighbors made sure I was up at midnight!
2 of my best buds! God has definitely blessed me with these amazing girlfriends!
We had to reschedule the Syvertsen Family Christmas from Dec. 26th until Jan. 1st due to the snow. Here's Sydney with my cousin's daughter, Sadie.
Cole had so much fun with Aunt Cheryl. She got him cracking up!
All of the cousins minus Rachel, Dave and Dave Syvertsen
