Christmas . . . Finally

Yes, I know its the middle of January. Its a rather daunting task to go through pictures, narrow them down, edit, and write a post. This post comes through spare minutes throughout this week. So here it is: Bradshaw Christmas 2011!

First off, the stomach flu hit our house a few days before Christmas, starting with Logan. Then on Christmas Eve morning I got sick, and Benj got it a couple days after Christmas. Luckily Norah didn't catch it. You'll notice Norah and I are missing at the Christmas Eve party (I was sad I couldn't go). We girls stayed home and watched a Christmas movie. At the party its a tradition to play the candy bar game.

Once Benj and Logan got home, we dressed the kids in their Christmas jammies and tried to get a picture of the 2 of them in front of the tree.

I captured a couple sibling hugs (Logan is really so sweet to his baby sis).
Norah's first Christmas!

Another picture attempt on the couch.

Christmas morning the family slept in til 8:30 (loved that). Logan was so cute coming down the stairs and seeing the tree all lit up and presents under the tree. He loved opening all his presents, although he would get a new toy and want to immediately open it and play with it for a few minutes.

Norah got a few things too, including this little hat.

We went to church with Benj's side of the family. It was so nice to hear the messages and music about our Savior. I really enjoyed having Christmas on Sunday.

We went to the cousin's house after church to open more presents. This is the best photo we got of the group (notice half of us are looking at Logan because he did NOT want his picture taken).

Our family of four. :)

We love this baby girl.

Logan's great-grandparents and grandma B.

Playing with new Christmas toys.

The kids got spoiled as usual. Here's Norah with her stash (again that hat kills me). Such a good girl to look at the camera.

And Logan's stash (too busy to pose).

My side came down and I didn't take one single picture of them. I feel so bad about that. But we had lots of fun visiting, eating, and opening more gifts.

Thanks to our family and friends for making 2011 a wonderful year!
