| Two thankful twins happy for family visiting over the holidays |
Last year we were on the road for the holidays, but this year we were thankful for family to visit us in our (no longer so new) home.
 |
| The twins were excited to have Grandma Steffie, Grandpa Dan, and their cousins visit for the week |
 |
| These four turkeys enjoyed their turkey cookies the day before the holiday |
 | ||
On Thanksgiving day, Aunt Lisa helped Clare with her nails
|
 |
| We took advantage of holiday dress up to take a formal photo of the 4 cousins |
 |
One more...this time with Grandma Steffie!!
With one holiday down, the next quickly approached.
|
 |
| In a matter of days, we went tree shopping... |
 |
| ...and brought home this year's tree! |
 |
| The twins helped decorate the tree this year |
 |
| This season we took Christmas card photos inside the house |
 |
| This was the winner... |
 |
| ...but we also ended up... |
 |
| ...with a lot... |
 |
| ...of other... |
 |
| ...great shots!! |
 |
| As the Christmas countdown (yes, of course, we have one!!) clock ticked down... |
 |
| Grandma and Grandpa Knapp arrived in Evanston to help us celebrate |
 |
| On Christmas Eve night Grandma Knapp read the twins 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' (an old tradition in Daddy's family) |
 |
| Speaking of Daddy, he peaked downstairs in the early morning and saw that Santa had indeed stopped by our house! If you are on a laptop or computer, you can check out the twins' excitement walking down to this scene on the video below. Their reactions are priceless! |
 |
| It was great seeing Clare.... |
 |
| ...and Luke so excited by Santa's visit!! |
 |
| Apparently these two were good this year, because they ended up with quite a haul!! |
 |
| Parents and grandparents enjoyed watching the twins unwrap present... |
 |
| ...after present!! |
 |
| In a matter of time, our living room looked like a toy store!! |
 |
| Sadly, Christmas, and the grandparents visit... |
 |
| ...soon came to an end... |
 |
| ...but plenty of memories will remain... |
 |
| ...from a pair of GREAT family holidays in our home! |
