Christmas has come and gone for the Schaefers, but we had an amazing time with our friends and family!
We started the festivities with a friend gathering with all the kiddos. Here they are singing us some of our favorite holiday tunes. They are quite the bunch, but it is crazy how fast they are all growing and can't wait to see what kind of bonds they form together. If they are anything like their parents it could get interesting :)
Christmas Eve brought the children's service at church and then off to my parents. Here are the crazies all dressed up and ready to go.
The program at church. Its always a packed house and this year was no different. Tate isn't quite old enough to participate yet which is not a bad thing. I don't know how ready he is for public performances yet.
The Von Ahsen clan. This is as good as it gets in terms of pictures :) Everybody but the little boys - imagine that!!!
Teagan made out like a rock star this year. Just look at her outfit - new shirt, tall black boots, and feather earrings. All put together with her snowman pj pants - stylin!!!
Tate was all about Transformers and Power Rangers this year. Here he is with "Arcee" that he got from Santa. And you can see his new 2 wheel scooter in the background. He was all talk before he tried to ride it, but has discovered it is a little tougher than he thought. Luckily its been nice enough that both kids have been able to ride around outside.
A new basketball hoop from Dad! This will definately wait til spring to go up. But Teagan is already working on her form!
Can't have a Von Ahsen gatering without Aunt Beth!! So excited that she lives close and gets to attend our stuff. And she brought Boyfriend Nick, too - he is a hit with the kids and us as well.
We moved my Dad's side to Conroy Hall for Christmas since we got just a bit too big for her house. Thats an understatement. This works really well for running room, a park across the street, and plenty of table room for BUNCO and Sheepshead.
The greats! Great-grandma and the kiddos. Cole wasn't a huge fan of pictures this year so he didn't make it in this one, but was there in spirit :)
Thats installment #1 of our Christmas happenings. Next up - the Schaefer side of things. Oh AND a new baby gets added to the mix :)
