Christmas Craziness!

Well, some might say we overdid it this Christmas, but, we wouldn't be us if we didn't travel like crazy and say yes to everything, would we? Haha. Besides, it was our New Year's resolution to slow things down, and we still had a few more days till New Year's. We had a great time with all our family, are glad they all got to share in Cole's first Christmas, AND got WAY too many presents. Cole can never doubt how much he is loved! Here are a few of the TONS of pictures that we took. We definitely captured the moments!

Christmas morning in Memphis... Cole helped me wake everybody up. He was ready... don't know about Daddy!

We take this picture every year while we are waiting for mom and dad to get the video camera set up to record us seeing what Santa left everyone. We are starting to run out of steps though because our family just keeps growing! What a blessing!

Opening his presents Christmas morning.

This may be Murray's favorite present this year... good job Logan!

Things are never dull with the boys in our family... Smith's feet were apparently feeling chilly.

Cole sporting his cool rock and roll shirt from Uncle Logan!

We had a cookie decorating contest this year... boys vs. girls. Here is a picture of the boys' effort...

Do I need to explain to anyone why the girls obviously won?

Just had to put this one up because my mom is so beautiful! She is glowing with the Christmas Spirit!

Cole is wondering why he didn't get a gigantic candycane like Aunt Neesha!

All the Nickleson kids!

Christmas dinner at Murray's house. We are outgrowing the table here too!

Look at all those presents! We must have all been really good this year!

Easton enjoyed driving Duke crazy with the bike horn we gave him. Make sure you find Duke in this picture... really funny!

Gonna be just like Daddy!

Checking out the snowman toy.

Playing with one of Easton's vacuum toys he got for Christmas. I love Cole's face in this. It also documents the fact that we are totally in the drooling stage. Notice the drool ring that is soaking the top of his shirt!


Christmas is definitely a time full of gifts. Murray, Cole, and I couldn't appreciate any gift more than the blessing of our family and friends. We love you!
