Thank you!

We wanted to say thank you for all the gifts we received for Christmas! We loved spending time with all of you! Love Tom, Kia, and Johanna

Christmas with the Gaumond's

After Mass we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Gaumond's house for the day. We spent our afternoon with G&G and Aunt Christine. Johanna was a little tired when we got there and was being shy. She hide between Tom's legs and behind him. Opening my big present - A basketball hoop. Slam Dunk!
Ohh - Grandpa got socks. So did Tom!
Grandma's new apron - it has all the grandkids' names on it.
On our way home we drove through Candy Cane Lane - it's a neighborhood with lots and lots of lights/decorations outside. Johanna loved it - she said more when we went by a house without any lights.

Christmas Morning

Santa came last night!
The stockings were hung with care... Checking out what's in Jo's stocking.
Is there more?
We had to convince Johanna to open her other presents after she found her peacock and camels in her stocking.
After starting she was interested again in checking out what was in the box. Look mom - I see more animals.
Noah's Ark - wow!

Reading to my baby

Johanna loves her new baby doll - she screams when ever we have to set her down. Jo reading to her babies -
Yeah mom! I'm reading

Snuggling

Johanna snuggling up with her new baby doll.
Mommy and Jo
Johanna gets a little wild when she gets sleepy - then it's time to wrestle. She was rolling me across the floor, tackling me, and more

Christmas with the Ketelboeter

We started a new tradition this year and everyone seems to love it: the kids opened thier presents and then the adults. Brandon helping Orrin open his presents. I think Zack likes his new Badger hoodie. Johanna opening her present with daddy
It's a baby doll!!! She loves to play with her dolls now. That's all she wants to do - change them, feed them, burp them, hug them, etc.
Ohh, ahh
A big present - what can it be? A new shopping cart!
Playing peek-a-boo with Uncle Nick
Tom helped Emma put together her new Barbie doll house - Zach wanted to check it out too.
Mike and Brandon admiring Grandma's new necklace.
Nick getting a new collectible tractor

Grandma asked Emma to hold her slush - she pretended to take a sip. It was funny!
The Hoiby's got a family gift - Wii Fit. Tom was shocked to see kids so excited to excerise.

Fashion Show: Hats

Johanna decided she wanted to have a hat fashion show one night after dinner. I am wearing my "Kia" hat from when I was a little girl. It says Kia all around the hat in blue.
Trying on mom's hat - just a little too big
So shy and innocent she is. Just kidding - I'm just silly
Going for the 80's look
