A Very Merry Christmas!!

This year we spent Christmas up at a cabin that my parents rented. It was definitely crazy at times knowing that the kids outnumbered the adults, but we loved being all together for Christmas! It was so much fun being up in the mountains surrounded by snow, eating yummy food and having fun together (especially in our striped pajamas).

All the parents waiting to capture the moment of kids running down the stairs.

Marli loved her new bike and would only open the rest of her presents if she was sitting on the bike.

The whole fam - every Christmas Eve we all wear these striped pj's that my mom has made for us. This tradition all started back when my parents were dating and my mom made one of these nightgowns for my dad kind of as a joke. Well, the joke stuck and here we are 37+ years later.

I have not been very good at taking pictures, but our family has experienced a few milestones over the past month.

1. Reno and I both had birthdays, getting one year older and closer to the big 3-0.

2. Marli decided that she no longer likes sleeping in a crib and so has now graduated to a big girl bed. I'm not sure if this is a step forward or a step back seeing that we now get up about every three hours in the night to put her back in that big girl bed. When did she forget how to sleep through the night?????

This must just be good preparation for our third milestone which is...

3. We found out this past week that Marli will be getting a baby sister! We are excited to have another baby girl joining our family in May!
