*BECK'S BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT*

Beck's birth announcement was very special.  The baby scale he is laying on was used to weigh all of Grandma Hauk's brothers, sisters and cousins.  We were fortunate to be still have it in our family to use.

*CHRISTMAS*

 

 

 

Beck's 1st Christmas!  We had to quickly get him up to speed on our traditions.  The girls always have a slumber party the night before in Maren's room where they have to wait until everyone is up to head downstairs.  All the kids sit at the top of the stairs and Dad and I will go around to make sure everything is ready for them.  Every year before Christmas Eve, the kids decide which wrapping paper they want and Santa will wrap just their presents in that kind. This helps them know what presents are theirs on Christmas morning.  Then they have to start out Christmas morning with their stockings.  Grandma Hauk has made everyone in our family one.

*CHRISTMAS EVE*

 

 

Jay made the best prime rib for Christmas Eve dinner and we had a quite night at home due to me still being sore and the baby being so new.  After visiting Santa, we went home and relaxed watching movies.  The kids always leave cookies (this year Grandma Hauk's peanut butter fudge) and milk for Santa and then the girls both sleep in Maren's room.  In a few years, the boys will be able to join them.

*SANTA VISIT*

 

 

We were brave enough to get our annual photo with Santa on Christmas Eve.  Luckily the weather wasn't horrible and Beck was perfect while we waited in line.  Afterwards, we went to Jack Stack and the kids devoured a Jack Stack brownie.
