Christmas with the Reinhardt's

It has been a long time since I have posted . . . too long. We have been super busy, finding our new normal, and trying to get sleep. By the time I even thought about creating a post the shear volume of photos to sort through was overwhelming. So now, in March, I have finally sorted though December and January. I am hoping to catch-up with February soon so I can keep up-to-date and not be exasperated by a mountain of photos in the future.

So now I start with images taken before and after Christmas during our visit by the Reinhardt's. It was so great to see all of the them, and specifically, to have all the help Cyndi gave us before and after Catalina's arrival.

Pictured below we start with Christmas Eve.

Griffin was super jazzed to get a remote controlled spider. It even climbed on the wall.

Olive June immediately loved her new dolly.

Christmas morning the kids loved opening presents together. Our cat, Bean, got a catnip toy present too.



Catalina's first Christmas. She kind of looks like she is smiling in her Christmas dress.


Here is Cyndi holding our most precious Christmas gift.

Bapa, John, holding the baby.

And Uncle Jacob holding Catalina.

One of my favorite parts of the Christmas was the epic meal Cyndi prepared for all of the adults on Christmas night. We ate after Griffin and Olive went to sleep, and it was so nice to have a meal where we could all actually talk to each other. On top of that is was extremely delicious.

Griffin enjoying the Kindle we got for the family to use. He loved Angry Birds.

Olive June in her official Christmas dress.


OJ in one of the many dress-up Princess dresses she got for Christmas.

One day a bunch of us went to the park. The weather happened to be really nice that day.

Goofing around on a funky merry-go-round.

Griffin and Jacob playing around with Griffin's new "Zombie Lab."

Olive June loved her uncle.

One more picture of the precious baby.

I hope to post more picture from January soon.
