Christmas Night

Here are a few pictures from Christmas night. Mike's family came over and we opened gifts then had spaghetti and meatballs/sausage. Mmmmm...that sounds good - I guess I should go eat some lunch already. It was the first time that I've been able to get a picture of all of the Hurlbut grandkids. They are Raymond's boys (Raymond is Mike's brother) and then our girls. Grant is 7 - Kendall is his shadow when he is here and he adores her as well. And the baby is Alex who just turned one this past January. We have a full range of ages and they all had such a great time!

It was also a great celebration because it was Alex's first Christmas. He was born in January at only 24 weeks. He had quite the struggle but God brought him through and gave us this perfectly healthy sweet little boy.

Becca, Mike's sister made the largest array of cookies I've ever seen. Enough to feed an army! We thoroughly enjoyed picking through them and eating way too much.

Baby Alex - he was all smiles and so happy the whole night (until he had to leave) Avery tired of me and my new flash

Avery and her giant stuffed bear who Baby Alex tried to steal away from her. Poor Alex - getting all the blame b/c he can't talk.
