I have not been this excited for Christmas for a long time. I think it was exciting for the Lilos, even though they still don't really understand Christmas. It was a relaxing Christmas day. We had no agenda and no where to be which was really nice. The Lilos opened their stockings first and we could have stopped there and they would have been completely content. Miss Leah found a couple of things to fill her hands with and was unwilling to give them up. She was content watching Landon open all the gifts. He is too busy to stay playing with one thing for too long. He went from toy to toy all day, while the bug was content with her tooth brushes, ball, and dog. It was so much fun. We were also able to conference call with my whole family including Erik and Kristen who are serving missions. It was a wonderful Christmas.
Jer was Santa's helper around the neighborhood this year.
The Lilos and their stockings
It took us a half hour to get through their stockings. Obviously the tooth brushes were a hit.

They were spoiled!

Merry Christmas!! I cannot believe how big your little babies are, they are adorable and you look amazing. It was so much fun to listen to JD talking on the phone with Jer last night and just laughing his head off. We miss you guys a lot and are crossing our fingers for his office to be downgraded!! Tell Jer that if the baby is born June 4 we will keep it open as an option!!
Very sweet! Glad you had such a good day. Kids are entertained by the simplest things, huh?! :)
I want to be part of the Nielsen Family!!! I just can't believe Landon and Leah were as tiny as Daniel and Matthew last year and look at them now! It gives me great hope. :) Love you all so much. Can't wait to see you soon. Oh, and Alisha, YOU'RE GORGEOUS!
They are so cute! I love that Leah just had fun watching Landon!!! Kids are so funny!
What a fun year for the kids huh! I love it! They look so happy and content with their stockings-so adorable! They are sure looking like a couple of cuties, and you and Jer look great too! We can't wait til you are visiting again, call us!
We love you and had so much fun on skype with you! I'm glad you had a good Christmas, but ours just wasn't the same without you here!!! Next year baby!!!
What a great holiday! Your kids are so dang cute, and isn't it fun when they kindof get the gist of things? Wish you could be closer, but you are having wonderful adventures where you are. Loved your post!
