Behind the scenes at Christmas

Jonas had a great first Christmas (he brought home a van-load of toys as proof!) More importantly, we got to spend time with our families - family time and church in Apple Valley on Christmas Eve, then a Christmas Day celebration with the Martinson's. Lots of fun times were documented in photos...but it is the stuff that wasn't photographed that will make the memories! See what I mean below...

WHAT YOU SEE: Jonas in spiffy Christmas outfit that Grandma JuJu bought before he was even born...

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE: The label on the vest that says "Dry Clean Only"

WHAT YOU SEE: Sweet cousins posing for Christmas portrait in front of Christmas tree...

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE: The 80 other photos I had to take to get them both looking at the camera and Jonas without ornament in mouth.

WHAT YOU SEE: Grandma JuJu and Papa B make the best of a snowless Christmas

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE: Tangled ropes and crashes.

WHAT YOU SEE: Daddy letting Jonas open present with new teeth...so cute!

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE: Mommy coming to rescue and fishing tiny piece of soggy wrapping paper from drooly mouth.

WHAT YOU SEE: Cousins playing together nicely with new Christmas presents

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE: Ok, actually I DID capture this one on camera...
Sweet cousin hug gone BAD! Someone forgot to tell Abbie that Jonas REALLY likes hair!
