Sickler Family Christmas

It worked out really great that this was our Christmas to spend with Jaron's family - with us moving and all; it was the perfect excuse to go back for a visit.  Although, bittersweet!  We still have a chunk of our hearts there!
  Nana was able to get in some cuddle and reading time...Courtney is wearing PJ's made by Nana.  The two older girls recieved robes made from the same fabric.

We met Jess' fiancee, Joey and gave him a "proper" welcome into the Sickler family!  LOL  He's a great guy and we couldn't be happier for the both of them!!  The girls also enjoyed teasing Uncle Joey and getting into numerous pillow fights with him :)

Our pretty little ladies on Christmas day....

Helping PopPop with something, do you like Katie's expression?  "Not another picture, Mom?!!!!"  HA

The girls have really enjoyed playing with their dishes...they have quite a collection now.  Unbeknownst to either side of the family, they both bought the girls dishes :)

And it just wouldn't be a true Sickler family gathering without playing games of some sort or the other.  This time we added two new games to the mix:  Qwitch (lots of fun, highly recommend!) and Monopoly Deal.

We also did some wedding dress shopping...

Such a special time, so glad I could be there!  and Jen, we really missed having you along!! 

Then Mom Sickler treated us all to Olive Garden for some yummy soup and salad.  Please forgive the fuzzy picture - I think the waiter was nervous *wink*

We also fit in an Engagement shoot :)  About two hours of freezing fun...literally! 

We had a really great time, the only drawback to visiting any place at Christmas time is that most of your friends are all gone visiting their families.  We were pretty bummed about that!  But, we'll be going back in June :)  and Jessica is counting down the days - til her wedding, not our visit :)  LOL
