We had a wonderful time over Christmas this year with our families! Santa came to our house a few days early since we were going to be in Grand Rapids on Christmas day. He brought Jackson and Ellery a kitchen which they love! Jackson has been a grilling machine putting everything from ice cubes to chips to burgers on the grill (all pretend of course) :) It was a great morning with our little family of four! Unfortunately we didn't take any still pictures but focused more on the video camera this year....but here is a cute picture of Ellery playing with her new toys.
We headed to Grand Rapids a couple days before Christmas and stayed in town for about a week and a half. It was so great to see all of our family and be able to attend all the Christmas parties this year! Last year Miss Ellery's early arrival interfered with all that...but she was worth it :)
Jackson and Zion hanging out
Ellery and Israel checking out his new toy!
Ellery pooped out already and we just started opening gifts!
Jackson and Ellery in the thick of opening....loving all their new playfood and dishes!
A new wagon from Grandpa and Grandma!! We can't wait to use it this summer!
Jackson vacuuming up all the pine needles....what a big helper!!!
Me and my peanut :)
The Donker tradition for as long as I can remember is to all gather and read the story of Jesus's birth and sing Christmas hymn's together. It is a wonderful tradition that we all look forward to. This year almost everyone was there...close to 50 people! The family is sure growing!
I am sure Grandpa and Grandma are smiling at the fact we are still all able to get together! Thank you Uncle Steve and Aunt Sandy for hosting! We look forward to next year!!
