We began our Christmas celebration with the Johaniks on Christmas Eve.

After waking up Christmas morning, the boys opened up gifts from their stockings.

Molly served as “quality control” for the candy.

When the boys were finished with their stockings, it was Molly’s turn.

She was so excited over her new toys, she didn’t even wait for the packaging to come off.

Then it was off to the Gieres’ for brunch. There was a constant buzz of activity at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.

Ruthie seemed to enjoy the loving attention she received from her cousins!
