Waldon family Christmas.

We celebrated Christmas with the Waldons the weekend of Jan. 11-13.  I know...a little late!  But better late than never!  So the Kaufmans came down from Lewiston to celebrate!  Friday night after work, we all headed over to Mom and Dad's to have dinner and open gifts.  It felt a little strange.  There were no decorations up, no lights, but that was ok!  We made the best of it!

Clara was thrilled to receive her very own baby doll.  She has a whole bunch of dolls, but they're all hand-me-downs from me and my sisters.  So she loved opening her own baby.  However, she was completely uninterested in gifts at first.  We kept trying to get her to rip the paper open, but she refused!    She just wanted to play with her cousins, who she adores!  I finally had to tell her, "There's a baby in here!" in order to convince her to open her gift.

She was showered with other gifts too...books, accessories for her baby, a backpack, cute alphabet cards to hang up in her room, and lots of other goodies!  She's a lucky little girl!






 Heh heh heh!






 Clara and Daddy were so coordinated that evening!


 Ben and Will got things with wheels...and they were happy!
 Trying to convince her to open the darn thing!!!
 Oma and Opa also got Ben and Will a big playmat with a city on one side, and a construction site on the other.  It was a huge hit!
 And Baby Bill got a cute rocking horse for Christmas...which he was afraid of!  Classic!  But he warmed up to the idea of the horse as the weekend wore on!



I didn't get a single shot of Steve or my Dad!  Oops!  Sorry guys!

But it was a fun Friday evening.

We spent Saturday hanging around the house trying to keep three babes happy...which isn't that easy!  Then that evening, we had Christmas dinner.  We didn't see the guys that much on Saturday...they hunted that morning and went to the Stampede game that night!  So we girls spent the evening playing board games and trying to get three babies to sleep.  Once again...it wasn't that easy!

But Christmas with the Waldons was loads of fun!  Spending time with family is the most important part of the holidays, and we were glad we could finally make that happen with my side!  It was a fantastic weekend!

Stay tuned for Sunday of that weekend...baby Will's birthday!
