Our Second Christmas

Thanks everyone! We had a great time seeing everybody and appreciate the gifts very much!

Chad and Nikki's kids got snuggies for Christmas. The girls had an extra pink one so I had to try it out. Here we are in our pink snuggies.

Katelyn sitting with Aunt Nikki and Josie (sorry Josie I only got half of you pretty face!).

Snuggling with Uncle Chad

Jonathan and his cousin Josie snuggling with Grandma and Grandpa


I am sure Katelyn loved her presents too. Sadly I didn't get very good pictures of her with them. We'll have to take some of her playing with them at home and then post those.


Aunt Nikki and Uncle Chad gave him a talking dump truck.


On our way back to Kentucky we got stop and see Chaun's family for a couple of days. It was great to see them and our kids got very spoiled. Above is Jonathan with his new fire station. He was very excited about it!

Our Christmas Production

and the whole cast


The cute little shepherds, Jonathan and Josiah.

Our beautiful angels, Emily and Alise.


Sarah and I decided to have all the cousins act out the Christmas story as a way to remember the real reason we celebrate Christmas. We found some fun costumes and props at church and used the stage for our production. Above is Mary and Joseph (AKA Natalie and Luke).

Lots of fun at Grandma and Grandpa Os

All of the grandkids together...all of them smiling and looking is another story.

We love having the gym next door to us. When the kids get a little stir crazy we can run over there and run off their energy.

More stories, I added this one because I like Jonathan and Josiah's matching shirts. They matched a lot but we did not get very many pictures of them. Sad bananas!! Hopefully next time.

More snuggling...Grandma and her two babies.

Games, stories, food and a craft project with Aunt Sarah.

Snuggling with Uncle Dave

Of course there was story time with Grandma. Jonathan was hugging my mom like this and then looked up at here and said "I love you Grandma!" If that doesn't melt a grandma's heart I don't know what would.

Along with playing games there was lots of cooking and delicious food! Emily and Unity are whipping a cherry pie.

Brotherly love!

Jonathan and Natalie became best buds this trip (well at least Jonathan had fun chasing Natalie around)!

Playing Five Crowns...a favorite at the Ostercamps

Katelyn and Aunt Anita (look at their beautiful blue eyes)

Christmas Day

The kids table at our DELICIOUS Christmas dinner.

Jonathan got a guitar just like daddy's. Hopefully I can get our video to upload. He sang a beautiful song for us. =)

Hugging her bunny from Uncle Matt and Aunt Unity.

Getting ready to open her present from Grandpa and Grandma O. I pink duffel bag, a doll, and cuddly pajamas!

Jonathan sporting his new Nebraska football jersey. He pretty much wore for a week straight. So we know he loves it!

Katelyn got her first doll! She loves it!


And then our attempt at all the cousins under the tree. That ended up being pretty much impossible. So I liked this one of Kate, so I picked it (sorry Josiah we can't see you!) .

Here is my attempt at a picture by the tree.


I have so many fun pictures from our Christmas at my mom and dad's that I am going to put up a few different posts. The first one is Christmas morning. Jonathan and Katelyn got new pajamas on Christmas Eve. Jonathan woke up to a stocking full of fun little treats. My kids were blessed and we are thankful for my parents and the aunts and uncles and their kindness to us.
