Matt and Lori bought Hallie a Little Tikes jumping tent. I am not sure what the actual name of the gismo, but it is an enclosed air-padded jumping tent. Hallie invited her cousins on Christmas day to share the joy.
Debbie and granddaughter Natalie looked at the photo album that Nancy and I gave to Debbie and Greg.
Natalie are you drinking wine? Ok, so maybe it was sparkling grape juice, but the kids loved the idea of being part of the toasting.
You will see lots of the Snow White and Cinderella dress up costumes. Grandma Thielen gave Anna and Hallie these for Christmas. Anna had already left to visit her grandparents in Topeka so Natalie played Snow White on Saturday's Christma celebration.
The expecting parents Sharon and Kevin. The little one is due in mid April.

Mom has the touch - Brooklyn is butter is mom's hands. Nobody holds a baby like my mom.
John and Stacia are just a couple of weeks to the due date of their second child. I am in high sensitivity mode every time the phone rings now. It just might be John with the news of the most precious gift in the world.
Natalie, I mean Snow White, seems to be playing the part well.
Time to get out of the tent - Garrett's legs, Sam, Hallie, with Anna still inside.
Sam made a big exit when it was time to leave.
Sweet Sam with the greatest smile in the world.
Matt helped Sam catch butterflys in the Elefun game. I am not sure who had more fun - Matt or Sam.
More smiles from Matt and Sam
They had a great time.
Anna, I mean Snow White with a Dora necklace, caught butterflies, too.
Can you tell by Garrett's smile that he caught the most butterflies?

Matt kept telling Anna that he was going to get her a banana for Christmas. Anna's reply was that she would stick the banana in Matt's ear. Well, it all came true.
Anna stuck that 'wrapped' banana in Matt's ear. Then she unwrapped the banana and ate it in typical Anna fashion.

Brooklyn fell asleep with her fist up in the air.
Hallie was in the Christmas spirit after drinking sparkling grape juice.
Bottoms up
Sweet, Sweet Nancy
More Christmas spirit, I think the wine was starting to take affect.
Hallie was going after more spirits, but Kelly had her eye on Hallie just in case she chose the wrong bottle.

That's a sweet family
That's what I'm talking about, a kiss for Mom and Dad!

Kelly and Joey and kids. I would say Garrett, Anna and Sam are ready for rest, it must have been a big day.
Grandma Siefers with her great grandchildren: Brooklyn, Anna, Hallie, Sam and Garrett. The only one missing was Natalie.
Hallie, with the help from Susan and Nancy, put together a gingerbread house. Hallie did a GREAT job of staying with it from start to finish.

Nancy and I bought boots for the Thielen kids. Garrett, Anna and Sam had cowboy boots while Hallie got snow boots from us. Her parents had already purchased cowboy boots for Hallie.

I've been waiting for the Christmas pictures. MK, you did not disappoint! They are great. I am so bummed that I missed the Siefers X-mas. Merry Christmas!
MK
I look forward to seeing your page every week, what is happening with you and your love ones. The kids are so precious. What a happy family, from Joe and Susan to their grandchildren. Goes to show, that love does make happy families, home and a good life for all to come. I have been lucky to sit on the side lines and witness all this. I love each and everyone of you and am proud to be called a Siefers. Love Lavern
Thanks for posting the pics, it looked like a great time as always. I too was bummed to miss the Siefers family Christmas.
I have enjoyed reading about your wonderful Christmas and holiday celebrations! We also had a special Hironaka Christmas, but no little children. Seeing Christmas and the holidays through the eyes of children is a gift that cannot be duplicated. Thanks for letting me be part of your family celebration through these precious photos!
See you soon!!
Hugs,
Candi
