Ahhhhh I haven't posted Christmas pictures yet!!!
Things like this drive me NUTS, but oh well.
On our way down to Mimi and Papa's house, we stopped to see my BFF Sophie, her hubby and their fabulous new house in Ames. As we were getting the grand tour, we were in one of their spare bedrooms. She suggested I look in the closet to see "all the storage space" and the only thing hanging was the most adorable 0-3 month size ISU baby outfit. It took me about 3 seconds to figure it all out and was immediately in tears. Words can't describe how thrilled I am for these two - they'll be incredible parents! God is so good!
Mimi's version of The Night Before Christmas is the BEST!
Grant, Brooke and Luke arrive on Christmas day! Let's get the party started!
Love how Conrad "checks" people out. He thought Grant was pretty awesome.
Snuggles with Aunt Natalie. Squish!
Me and my baby bud!
Watching movies and reality show "Gator Boys" is always better on Mimi and Papa's bed.
Christmas Day 2013
That's one impressive stack of presents!
The following are some of my favorite gift opening pictures....
Let's get the baby doll opened asap!
Conrad opened his gifts at his own private gift opening. He wasn't overly impressed (but still super grateful) and would much have preferred to just eat the wrapping paper.
The girls both got dolls and played with them for days. So fun!!
Love this picture of the five of them!!
Conrad wanted what Luke was playing with and Luke wasn't about to have that.
Watching a movie with Uncle "Don".
Having a tea party with their new toys.
Gwendolyn's first time taking part in the Barntsen family Christmas tradition of decorating cookies...(notice who is liking their finger.....ha. There's also an unwritten rule that you just don't eat any cookie clearly decorated by a child.)
You could tell which ones Gwendolyn decorated b/c they all looked like this.
She was pretty proud of herself. So precious.
The decorating crew!
Papa and his boys.
I won't pass up snuggling with fleece pj footed little boys.
Conrad sandwich!
This was adorable...Brookie suggested they take a picture with "their brothers" - so precious. Love them!
The entire time we were at Mimi and Papa's house (four nights), Grant, Brooke and Gwendolyn all got to sleep together in the same room. It went surprisingly well! They chatted and stayed up for a little while, but nothing crazy. I think they loved it.
Tom reading them the Night Before Christmas - so sweet.
Pretending to be asleep...
Seriously...how adorable are they?!
While near Omaha, I took Conrad to visit Becca. Of course he had a major blow out upon entering her home so we also did a load of laundry during my 3 hour visit. Conrad's too tight t-shirt and baggy pants (my sis has gotten rid of all her baby stuff *tear) absolutely made my day.
Champ likes the baby!
It was a fantastic time, per usual! These were just some of my favorite pics - wish I could share them all! We look forward to our time together all year.
