Christmas 2012

How blessed are we!?  Seriously, the end of 2012 really made me sit back and think about how amazingly blessed this family is.  The tragedy at Sandy Hook opened my eyes to the unbelievably awful things that can happen in this world and made me slow down during the craziest month of the year and just BE with my family.  We spent hours reading books, making cookies, playing hide and seek and sneaking the occasional snuggle when my girls would let me (Kurt has been sick the ENTIRE month of December so I didn't want to snuggle him much :) )

Josh spent most of his time here throwing his nieces and nephew up in the air.  He got his shoulder workout for sure.

Reese got in on the action too

Josh and Reese quickly became besties.

Christmas Eve traditional Asian feast - - YUMMY!!!  (sorry Kurt, this was the only picture I got)

New Christmas Eve tradition -- open a gift from Santa. He gave them matching PJ's and the game Twister to play.

Josh got in on Twister w/ all 4 kiddos

Reagan was the designated "spinner" for Twister.  She took her role VERY seriously.
