Christmas Photos

We spent this Christmas in California with Matt's family. Better make time for lots and lots of photos :)


Since we were flying on an airplane, we opened a few gifts the night before we left.


Grandma & Grandpa Webb sent rings for Brooklynn and princess slippers and a crown for Alexis, she insisted on bringing the crown to Cali.

There was a lot of turbulence on the airplane, Lexi didn't mind, she just threw her arms up in the air, while I tried not to barf....

The annual Hall family photo, turned out pretty good for 4 newborns huh? Left is Adam & Lisa, with baby Rebecca. In the middle is Matt & I, and Brooklynn, and to the right we have Doug with baby Ben and Tamara with baby Will. In front is Grammi with Steven (belonging to Adam & Lisa), and Papa with our Alexis. Peter and Jason are both on missions, so they got photo-shopped in to the far right.

Grandma & Grandpa Hall, and 4 new babies! Steven and Lexi were long gone by this point in the picture taking.

Christmas Eve we did the Nativity with 4 baby Jesus'. Alexis was Mary (she loved being front and center), and Steven was Joseph.

Christmas morning, checking out the stocking that Santa brought.


Santa brought a jump rope that Adam rocked :)

Doug & Tamara and baby #1 Ben.


Matt & Brooklynn, and Papa & baby #2 Will


Matt got a Wii from my parents, which was enjoyed by all the Hall boys all week.

Alexis got a new play set, that will be delivered to our house in the coming weeks, this was a practice swing, inside the house...
and outside the house. Matt rigged the swing to a tall tree so Lexi could practically fly. And in the background you'll notice the new addition that will be taking up some garage space in the who knows how many years. Matt's HS car has been loaned to us, and is being delivered to Texas for Matt's birthday later this month.

With 6 kids 3 & under, we took an adventure out to the racing track so the big kids could have fun.

Grammi stayed back to rally the younger crowd.

Sunday Doug & Tamara blessed their two boys.

And we ate and ate and ate all weekend long! It seemed like every evening the counter was covered with some new tasty treat!

It was a wonderful Christmas and so great to get to meet all the new babies in the Hall family! It'll be a Christmas to look forward to, next time we are all together and those babies are 2!

Looks like loads of fun, and surprises. I think that Matt's car will make a lovely addition to your garage...and maybe some road trips, or some soda runs at least.

I think that photo of you and Lexi on the plane is totally great. You really look like you are holding it together well for not feeling so great during the bumpy flight.

I am still kind of baffled that there were 4 baby babies during your stay with the Hall's this year, I hope that you were able to get a little sleep in. What a fun holiday for you.
