The Holidays all Mixed-Up!

We were blessed with several different Christmas celebrations and below are just a few photos from each one. Goodbye to Jason's Grandpa Harold who is now watching over us from Heaven.

Another tradition our family started this year was the "Pickle" ornament..I guess Santa hides it really well in the tree and the child who finds it gets an extra present.
Sweet Baby Colin..2 months.

Layne Mae (Scott and Andrea Hopper's daughter)..She wore her puma racing shoes with her dress..it was the cutest!
