Christmas, Christmas, and more Christmas

We started out celebrating in Springfield, MO with Blake's family.  We got to see most of his Aunts, Uncles, and cousins in the trip.  After a few days there, we went to Bloomington to see my family and spend some more time with Rick, Jean, Brandon and the Kuppersmith side.  Liam had so much fun being spoiled and hanging out with his cousins and family.  He had about a week long adjustment when we got home too.  It was so nice to see our family.  It is times like these that I continually ask Blake when we get to move back.  We really don' t see that happening any time soon.  

One goal of the trip was to get Liam to say "Grandma and Grandpa."  Well since he calls my parents Oma and Papa, he was getting confused.  By the end of the trip he was saying Oma-ga for Grandma and Pa-ga for Grandpa.  It was pretty cute.

 I am not good with  picking only a few pictures so here are lots.  



We decided Santa would bring Liam his stocking and a little gift since we will almost always be away from home.


Christmas morning





It sure is early for Blake:)


Liam loved the nativity scene





We tried to get a picture of all the Siron cousins.  As usual, it wasn't easy.  This one made me smile..


Taking a break from all the excitement

Christmas is exhausting for everyone.  By some miracle, Blake even fit everything in the car!
