Christmas Photos

Here a few photos from our Christmas in Milwaukee and St. Louis!


My little elves help me make some cookies the week before Christmas.


Santa hats were a MUST this week, especially for Asher.


The ULTIMATE gift, a Wii from grandma and papa Staude and Aunt Gretchen and Uncle Leon. Gabe was so excited he could barely speak.


Rhylah got a stroller and baby for Christmas. She knew exactly what to do with it ... promptly stuffing the dolly in the stroller and pushing it down the hallway. Smart girl!


Me and my sister with our paper hats ... from the poppers we pulled open at the start of the evening ... it's a British thing ... :)


All kinds of smiles as very patient boys wait to open more gifts.


Rhylah and Sydney model their new hats and mittens, knitted by grandma!


Sydney LOVED the fish bowl we got her, and "dunked" in headfirst to get a good view of the fishies!


Ash opens a gift.


Rhylah and daddy sit at Papa Bruce's house after church.


A poofy, pretty dress for a pretty girl!

Awesome photos! Isn't Christmas just so much more fun when you can see just how awed the kids are? But I'm impressed -- the carpet look uncluttered! At my sister's house, we couldn't walk without stepping on presents or wrapping paper!

Glad to see you guys had an awesome Christmas with family!

Cute pictures! We just got a Wii, too. The kids have been playing with it constantly!
