This year in Indiana, our family enjoyed a White Christmas. Not only was it white, but freezing, icy, and full of fun. 
My parents and youngest brother Chad came out for a week to celebrate Christmas with us. It was the highlight of our month. The kids had such a great time playing with Grandpa and snuggling with Grandma. Uncle Chad was a lot of fun, totally the coolest uncle ever!! We are so lucky that they braved the wild roads and weather to be with us for Christmas.
Natalie and Grandma snuggle on the couch by the Christmas tree.
We went to the Studebaker Museum in South Bend with the family. Such a fun place. I think that the men were in heaven, the cars they displayed were amazing.
The men folk braved the freezing weather to tour some of the Notre Dame campus. Even though it looks beautiful in this picture, don't be fooled. The temperature was about 5 to 10 degrees with a wild chill on top of that. Love Indiana winters......
We had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner and little program that Clint organized. So fun to create some of our own traditions in our new home.
Of course, Christmas morning was crazy and a ton of fun. Braden was so cute, excited about every gift he got, even the socks! Natalie went through nearly all of her new dress-up outfits in between opening presents. The kids are just the right age to really enjoy Christmas morning.
Here is Natalie in one of her dress-up dresses and her new princess cape.
Braden loving his biggest Christmas present, Charlotte.
Our family had such a great Christmas. Thanks to all our family for their wonderful gifts and to our awesome parents (AND CHAD!!!) for coming to be with us in the cold Midwest! Hope that everyone had a very happy holiday!
