Christmas with the Herlaches!

Traditionally we celebrate Christmas Day with my family, but again since the baby hadn't come yet plans had to change a little.  My brother and sister-in-law came down to celebrate with us, and Missy and Kyle on Saturday.  Bennett was so excited to see Casey and Amanda and their dog, Calvin ("Calbin" as Ben says).


By this time, Ben was getting really good at posing in front of the Christmas tree! :)


Opening gifts with Calvin's help.


Bennett was definitely the most spoiled one of all of us.  He got a explorer kit for summer, as well as a fishing pole from Pete, who sent gifts along with Casey and Amanda.  He got clothes, PJs, a wagon, books, a fire house set, and this cool kinetic sand I am saving for a "rainy" day.



Posing with Uncle Casey ("seesee")


The 6 of us always exchange gifts too.  We do a name draw at Thanksgiving.  Everyone got lots of nice gifts!!







Ben was pretty excited to read books before bed with Casey and Amanda!

It was a super fun day filled with lots of snacks, gifts, and fun time with our family!  We don't get to see Casey and Amanda as much as we'd like, so we loved having them for a nice long day with us.  (And about 3 hours after they left, I went into labor!  Crazy!)
