Our first party was with the Iverson's. We battled the crazy snowstorm to get there, but it was so worth it! We had so much fun with Gramee and Grandpee and the Zylstras! Sabrina was definately into the presents this year and had so much fun trying them out with her cousins! Anabelle didn't really understand what was happening, but she liked spending time with her cousin Sophie!

Here are grandma and grandpa with them all!
The girls came face to face with Santa for the first time this year. Sabrina....we'll see for yourself!
She just could NOT believe he was actually there! She would only sit on his lap if I came with her. Funny though, he was all she could talk about the whole ride home!
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were spent with the smaller Hoogland clan and celebrating our own Christmas. Some of the best moments of these parties were spending time with the whole family together, making christmas cookies (a yearly tradition that ends up with tummy aches), sisterly love, and rock band (no pics, but truely, there are no words to capture the hillarity).

We feel so blessed to have been able to spend so much time with the family we love and celebrate the birth of our savior in such special ways! This year especially we have been reminded how important it is to savor each memory we make with those we love.
