Christmas Day

Phares Christmas
 She was so excited to open up her giant pony from Aunt Kristen and Uncle Nate!

Merry Christmas

 We started a tradition last year in which each one of the kids gets three gifts from us. #1 We wanted a tradition that included Christ...the true reason for celebrating Christmas. So we decided to get the kids 3 presents. Christ received 3 gifts...so we decided to have our kids get the same amount. They did end up getting one extra...their sibling gifts to each other. #2 We have a pretty tight budget so only getting 3 gifts really saves us a lot of money. Tenlee walked down stairs and asked why there were only 3 gifts for her and we sat her down and explained that Baby Jesus got 3 gifts from the wise man so she was getting 3 gifts. When we got to my parents house that night my dad asked her what she all got and she said "3 gifts just like Baby Jesus" and she was so excited as she told him! 
 All Tenlee asked for was a turtle sandbox for outside, an Elsa doll and a camera like mommy with a battery and memory card. 3 perfect gifts!
 Kooper had no interest in opening his gifts but he loved climbing
on every one of the boxes and bouncing on them. 


 She was so proud of her gift to mommy...Minnie Mouse pajama's just like her. 
She got daddy Nerf guns so they can play together when he gets home from work. 
 Troyer Christmas
Kooper's new barn

  This girl LOVES lip gloss..She got plenty of it in all of her stockings
 She made 2 mini birthday cakes for Jesus...one for the Phares side and one for the Troyer side. We all had to sing happy birthday and then she blew the candle out. Another fun tradition we started last year with her.
