Jansen Family Christmas

In just 2 short days we will be packing up the fam and heading out to Chicago for Christmas! We could not be more excited for some Johnson family fun and a relaxing week or so away! But since we wouldn't be in Colorado for the actual day, we had an early Christmas celebration with our little family of 4 and with Mark's family too!

Christmas is just so magical! Especially now that we have little ones to share it with! It is so fun to see the joy in their faces as they take part in all of the traditions! Here are some- well, really A LOT, of pictures from Saturday and some video too!

We woke up early Saturday morning to see that Santa had visited our house!
Nolan was even excited about his new socks!

The boys helping Mark open his stocking!

Oh, the CHEESE pictures! It's just the stage we are in! But hey, at least he's posing for the camera in some way, shape, or form!

Heater got Smokey the Fire truck!

And some new Chuck Taylor's too!

Nolan and his new pride and joy- Chuck!

This kid LOVES cars & trucks, really any kind of vehicle!

After opening up stockings and presents at our house, we headed over to Mark's parents house for more holiday cheer!
The cousins!!! So many boys! Payton is such a good sport!

A rare photo of Oma & Opa with all their grandchildren! Minus Landon...he's on the way soon!

Loved this picture of these two smiling! They are good buds!

Cohen got a new winter hat! Pretty cute!

I was very excited to get the address stamp that I had been wanting!

Nolan saying "CHEESE" again with Auntie Cara!

Wes, as we all know, is VERY fashion forward! Ha! Here he is sportin' Bruce's Dancing with the Stars (or Grandview Administration) hat!

Cohen opening his gift from us- Megablocks!

Payton had a blast with her "Magic Fabric". She made all the cute little stuffed animals that it came with!

And Mark got his Christmas/Birthday gift! Just what he wanted and what will be needed for our COLD trip to the Windy City!


Merry Christmas!!
