Christmas with the Kuhn's

Christmas came a little early this year as Grandma and Grandpa Kuhn visited last weekend.  Malina loves spending time with her grandparents, especially Grandma Kuhn.  She was spoiled (as usual) with gifts and attention.  We all enjoyed a Christmas celebration on Sunday night with the whole family.

Rewind- Thanksgiving

We had an awesome Thanksgiving at home with Lynne, Joe, and Kenny.  Unfortunately, Jason had to work- and he was extremely missed.  We have hosted Thanksgiving for many years now - maybe five or six, so the preparation part is getting easier.  Everyone arrived early to play games and cause a little backyard commotion (beer pong).  It was a great day and I look forward to many more Thanksgivings with this small family group. This was the only semi-group photo of the day- Malina has some interesting (looking) men in her life :)

Santa and Snow

 

Malina was not a huge fan of Santa this year.  He was a bit creepy.  A friend invited us to her neighborhood Christmas celebration where Malina sat on Santa's lap and played in some snow.  Both experiences were a bit traumatizing and though she didn't enjoy the morning, Brian and I enjoyed our friends.  The pictures say it all.
