Christmas at the Borups

For Christmas this year, my parents and my brother and his family came for the weekend.  Greg's parents also spent part of the weekend with us.  It was SO nice not to travel.  We love hosting the holidays!  It was such a fun weekend and the kids had a lot fun opening their presents and of course, playing with them.  This is the first time I've noticed a HUGE difference between girls and boys.  After all the presents were unwrapped, Ava sat quietly playing with all her new toys while the boys were running around like crazy shooting each other with dart guns, throwing balls around, and just being BOYS.  It is so interesting to me to see it b/c Ava has never had dolls or princess things, but THAT is all she wanted and so Santa delivered.  I think everyone should spend Christmas with children.  They make it fun!


His first Christmas....And our first Christmas with a REAL LIVE TREE.  I'm not sure I would do it again.  The needles are a pain (literally when you step on them) to clean up.  But the smell was amazing!


So, I realize I need to find some different backgrounds, but I work with what I have.  I wanted to take pictures of her with her Christmas Church clothes.  She is just too darn fun to dress up and take pictures of...although she was one wiggly little girl this time.  I didn't think I got any great ones of her, but these turned out so sweet!
