Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas with both of our families... We are so lucky to have our families live less than a mile away from each other. And this was our first Christmas that we were already here... no packing, no traveling, no leaving. We're home! So here we have a few pictures of our Christmas and families. We definitely missed our siblings that couldn't make it. Can't wait until next year :) We hope you enjoyed the holidays!

Teri's birthday was the 21st, so we celebrated by going out for Chinese.
Randy, Teri, Gwen & Chase

Christmas Eve with the Rickers and the family gift exchange.
Here we have John man, Kat and Finno!

Looks like a good time. I can't believe how big Gwen is and so cute too, but that is no surprise. DId you make her little red hat, if so you really need to teach me, I love it!

We were sad to miss all the excitement. Glad you had a great Christmas. Gwen looks so cute in her tutu and LOVE the boots! Way cute!!

The picture of Gwen and all her presents is my favorite! Someday she'll post them on Facebook (or whatever social networking site is popular at the time), and all her friends and siblings will laugh at how totally "2010" all those gifts were. Ha ha!

Looks like we'll be celebrating first birthdays next month...isn't it crazy how fast this year flew by! Too bad we're not closer so Ty and Gwen could party together~! Miss you guys!!!
