Merry Christmas!

One of these days I am going to get a better camera because this camera does a very poor job, but it has lasted me since I was like twelve. I think Jeremy is really liking Pennsylvania despite the horrible weather we have had. No snow just rain. Although it is on the agenda for tomorrow to see some snow in the sky. I don't know about on the ground though... but today we went running at twin lakes on the muddy muddy trails and Jeremy loved it, when the train came by when we were in the woods he claimed it was just like the movies. Jeremy loves everything that involves getting muddy and climbing through the woods I am sure. We also played many games of volleyball up at the church and I am sure we are going to do that again tomorrow cause it was a hit. Last week we went to Overly's with my two best friends from high school and their boyfriends on a triple date. They're still awesome. Oh and it looks like its snowing in the picture.. nope. rain. 

 Christmas eve we introduced Jeremy to Luminieres and reice crem (no idea how to spell either of those). Reice crem is what we eat for dessert every Christmas eve it is like a creamy rice pudding kind of... then rasperry/strawberry stuff on top. Who ever gets the almond in their bowl gets some luck and that was me so this is gonna be a good year. =) Here's Johannes helping to set the luminieres up along the road. We cut holes in the milk cartons and put sand and a candle inside it looks cool because everybody does it so on Christmas eve the roads are lit up by little candles in milk cartons.

 And this is right before Ryan pushes us all over.
 Christmas morning we had our eggs benedict and then went to church after church we of course needed a weird family picture. Kevin is thrilled =)
 Johannes handed out jelly beans to everybody as his Christmas present to us. It was very hard for him because jelly beans are his favorite.
 This was suuuper funny. Hans and Amy got Johannes an elmo shirt for Christmas and then Amy got an Oscar one, and Hans got cookie monster. As soon as they all put them on Johannes freaked out and told them to take them off cause he wanted to wear them. He thought sesame street shirts should be his presents and didn't understand why mom and dad wanted them.

 They make a ridiculously cute family.
 bocce ball time!

 Johannes kept wanting to pick up and move the white ball so I took him to play on the swing and with chalk so they could keep playing. I loove this kid.

And that was Christmas! I didn't take pictures of a lot because I was too busy being all up in everything! Hope everybody's Christmas was awesome =) And by everybody I mean my mom and mom in law because they are the ones reading this =)
