Christmas time is near, time for toys and time for cheer

Merry Christmas everyone! Of course this is late, but technically we are only about 1/3 done with our celebrations.  It's an extended celebration for us. 

Let us begin with some pictures taken randomly.  Jolie and I took a Sunday afternoon trip to the Children's Museum when someone (JOLIE) decided she was too cool for a nap.  She loves playing there!

 We had a raffle at work and I won one of the prizes...and it was all guys stuff!  But this worked in Josh's favor and he cracked me up by modeling his winnings including this coat, scarf, hat, sunglasses and wallet.  Merry Christmas to Josh! :)
 Jolie thinks it super fun to carry gift bags around the house.  Notice her latest BFF Christmas Penguin, the hair clip, the halloween necklace, and the tutu.  No, she's not girlie at all!!!
 Grandpa Jeff, Grandma Lori, Ali and Matt came on Christmas Eve to celebrate.  I'll have to find the rest of my pictures, but we had lots of fun.  I was super nervous about having people over especially on Christmas Eve because I was worried about the meals, but Josh promised he'd take care of it and he delivered!  Although we were making a roast in the crockpot and after 4 hours we realized our crockpot wasn't working! Lori, Ali and I made a trip to the mall and I found a sweet new one on sale too!  So the dinner was saved! Although I had Christmas Pizza on the backup menu if needed! :)

We went to church that evening but Jolie decided that she wasn't too interested in the service so I spend most of that time out in the entryway chasing her.  She also through quite the fit when we tried to get her dress on her but it was absolutely worth it! It was soo cute!  I might have to try to wrestle her back in it to get some better pictures!
 Our attempt at a family photo.  Notice Josh and I are both holding Jolie in place.  haha
Jolie has a very hard time taking pictures with Uncle Matt because she always wants to roughhouse with him! This was the best I got. :)
Jolie got so many presents and had so much fun!  But we haven't had much time to play with any because she went with Grandma and Grandpa to Iowa for the week.  We'll meet them in South Dakota this weekend so it has been a very boring week for Josh and I!  This is the longest we have ever been without our little goober and we are missing her lots!  But Grandma and Grandpa are sending us lots of pictures and updates but we can't wait to see her!!!!!!!
