Christmas 2013

I can't believe it has already come and gone. We had a great Christmas full of family and friends. We started out on Christmas eve where we went to my parents house to have Christmas. I totally forgot to get a family picture. Grr. Of course it just seems like I came away with Molly pictures. We did go to church for the Christmas eve service and I was a little nervous because it was 6pm and Molly had never been to "big church" just Sunday school. But, she did ok. She was a little antsy at first but once she settled down and started reading the hymnal she was fine. She did yell at the top of her lungs "ALL DONE" after the first song sung by the choir - luckily we were in the back. 
Of course she sees a lollipop out of all those items.
Waiting patiently for breakfast. She inhales my moms breakfast casserole.
Happy birthday Jesus! This is a new tradition that I want to keep in the line up. She loved it! 
Christmas morning we started out at home and then went to Danny's parents house for an extended family lunch then Christmas with his family. She had such a great day that she didn't go to sleep until 10:15pm! She just sat in her bed talking about the day from 7:45pm onward. Crazy girl.

She got a car. She was a little excited. Just a little.
She was most excited to ride with baby emem in his present.
For whatever reason this tongue is always out like this. 
And the annual Struzick wrapping paper roll fight was on. This year M participated and dominated! 
We headed up to the ranch on Friday to just hang out and relax with Danny's fam. We did a little four wheeling or "four lala" as Molly says, game playing, football throwing and looking at the animals. 
I mean - lovely.
Learning about the important things in life.
This girl is a little dare devil. Always wanting to go faster.

Baby Emem just enjoying the view.
Saturday my mom's side of the family came up to enjoy the ranch and have a little Kluth Christmas. There were about 20 of us, including 7 kiddos. As always it was too short but a lot of fun.
Reece got the gift of the day. We do a nice white elephant gift and he just so happened to get a fluffy, leopard robe. 
Aunt Pat from Chicago always sends popcorn for Christmas and the kids chowed down.
Life lessons with Aunt Nenna.
Cooper with the catch of the day.
All the kiddos 
The ladies and the chick magnet. My cousin is gonna have her hands full. ;)
