At church on Christmas Eve. Everyone loves Papa's Christmas hat.
Sometimes Eli's hugs are a bit aggressive for little Kate! She's so cute, you just can't help but squeeze her.
I love this picture.
Adam and Ben at church.
Two pretty ladies.
Pals.
Eli loves to press the buttons on the ornaments on Nana's tree. She has some fun ones!
We made cookies for Santa before bed.
And Eli wrote Santa a nice letter.
...and maybe ate a few of Santa's cookies.
Santa came!
Kate was really into her Christmas gifts which was fun to watch. She is so sweet.
Eli loved his toys too!
It goes so fast before you are left with this!

We went to Michigan for New Year's Eve.
I love her vest and boots from Ashley and James.
New Year's Eve with her #1 guy.
She thinks he's funny.
We had a nice dinner.

He loves his uncles.
Last family photo of 2011.
I love this. Eli had just poked Kate in the eye. This is what the majority of our day typically looks like.
Mark, Moe, Ben and Lindsey on New Year's Eve.
Love them.
Love them too!
Rachel, Alyssa, and Lindsey
Grands and Great Grands
We always love a visit with them.
Kate had a wonderful first Christmas. She took a little snooze under the tree Christmas morning in her Santa suit . . . so sweet. I didn't really think she would be into gifts this year, but she actually enjoyed it. Eli was happy as always with all his toys. We went to both sides of the family later in the day. I had my hands full with Kate while we were at Jackie and Carl's and apparently my husband is incapable of taking pictures, so I don't have any photos. We spent New Year's eve with the Michigan Richters. It was a very lovely holiday, as always.
