Celebrations!

Our Christmas celebrations were so much fun this year! Will really enjoyed the preparations and really looked forward to Christmas morning.

The celebrating began on the Sunday before Christmas in Nevada for the Fiscus-Christmas. Will enjoyed playing with his cousins and couldn't get the paper off of his presents fast enough!

Cousins!

Will & Anna perform "Jingle Bells" on the "stage"

Will can't wait to see what's under the paper!

Playing!

This is why kids like to visit Grandma--they can make a mess and  no one cares!
(And maybe Grandma has too many place mats!)

Maggie and Uncle Jerry are the best of friends

Will shows Uncle Brian his engineering skills

The kids with their "Grandma Blankies"

It took many tries to get 3 kiddos to look at the camera AND smile

Pictures like this are much more realistic of when we get the cousins together!

Christmas morning was spent at our house, just the three of us. Will was excited to see what Santa left!

That afternoon, we travelled to Jewell to celebrate with Grandpa & Grandma Bruer, Mama, Aunt Amber and (soon-to-be Uncle) Phil. We all had a wonderful time.

Fast forward to another weekend, and we celebrated again! This time with Grandpa & Grandma Keiser at our house with pizza! Just my kind of Christmas! Will was again excited to see presents come through the door!

Somehow, Will ended up with Cool Whip on his nose
