Pretend Christmas

On Saturday, we loaded up and headed to Sturgis for our "pretend" Christmas. Because Lilah is coming right before Christmas, we won't be able to travel. Thankfully, Brian's family was able to all get together for Christmas a little early. Macie kept calling it a "pretend" Christmas. We had to explain to her that it wasn't the real Christmas yet because then she would think Santa was coming.
We were able to spend the whole day in Sturgis. We had yummy food and LOTS of it! The kids had so much fun playing with everyone and got lots of fun gifts. Lilah was spoiled too. I think everyone liked the gifts we got them and we made Grammie cry. I had Allie get me a baby feet picture of each grandchild and then put them in a frame. Of course, I left a spot for Lilah's feet. Later in the day, Aunt Poggy and Tyler came for a visit. I'm so glad that we had a great day!
Our camera has been acting up so Aunt Katie took some pictures and emailed them to me.

How adorable is he!
Sweet little Parker

Macie was so excited about her dress because it is a perfect "twirly" dress. Plus, Aunt Poggy bought it for her so we were glad she was able to see it.

Macie and Gavin love their cousin

The Shepherd family



So proud that he got up there all by himself!

Parker loved the books and bubbles that we got him. He'd never seen bubbles before and he was fascinated!

Cousins...just think next year there will be four!

Gavin loved his Seseme Street Playset and first train set. He hasn't put his trains down since we got home!

Aunt Beth got a car scraper that is sure to keep her hands warm!

Macie got a Fancy Nancy doll, Barbie, and Barbie convertible!

Stocking time!


Because it's Lilah's first Christmas, I had to get a picture of everything she got. I LOVE it all!

Aunt Poggy got her this adorable Christmas dress

Macie and Gavin got large totes too! Thanks Aunt Beth and Uncle Wil!
