Christmas Pictures

Starting a new tradition of watching Charlie Brown's Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Green and Becker cousins.

Christmas morning...time to wake up!

Natalie's tired! She'll need to get used to the Kesler way of doing Christmas, in other words being woken up early by Grandpa ringing a cow bell! :)




 This is our adorable niece Gracie. I made these hats for her...and little matching ones for her baby doll.

 Natalie and Daddy, best buds!

 More presents! We drove up to Chicago on Christmas day for our Miles Christmas celebration.

Natalie with Papa Miles, James, John, and Peter.

Natalie's newest trick: pulling up! She'd rather stand up than play with all her new toys!

Christmas Time is Here

It's my first day of Christmas break. I am soooo thankful to have these next two weeks off! Words can't describe!  Natalie is sleeping soundly for her morning nap and I've been picking up around the house, sipping tea and making a to-do list of last-minute Christmas missions to accomplish. It's hard to believe that half of the school year is already behind me. I've been trying to reflect upon the year, it's hard to even wrap my mind around everything that's happened. What I do know is that I am a very, very blessed person. I have a wonderful and supportive husband and a daughter whom we are absolutely crazy about. Natalie is such an amazing gift from God! We marvel at her each day and cherish every smile and giggle. I also feel so lucky to have great families who love us. Teaching has been a joy to me too this year. Most of all, I'm am thankful to know God. He is full of grace and has been a comfort to me through all the emotions and events of the year. To all our friends and family....Merry Christmas!

 Natalie has been enjoying our Christmas tree!

Cheerios!


 Our little Christmas sweetie!



 Natalie loves pulling off (and eating) the doors of our advent calendar.

 Getting these two kiddos to pose for a photo: impossible!


The first annual Kraftson/Green Christmas was a success!


Getting ready to play in the snow.

Is anything cuter than a baby in a snowsuit?!
