Surprise!!

Jacob's family has always had a Christmas tradition where they get a final gift for Christmas - something that they really wanted or would really like. But in order to get it, they had to unscramble what the gift was first. This year, I did something a little different! Jacob had to unscramble this:

A New Addition to the Family!!

Yep! We are pregnant with Bock Baby #3. Here he is unscrambling it and then realizing what it said! Of course he got his real final gift afterward (an electric train for the Christmas tree!).

Christmas 2010!

We had another great Christmas this year! The girls actually enjoyed opening up presents and Emma is starting to understand Santa Clause and the birth of Jesus. Emma loved getting her princess dress up clothes and basketball hoop (such a diverse girl!) and Maddie loved her rocker. We also got to have Christmas with my family and we had such a great time!

Here are our family Christmas pictures. I just love my adorable family!!

2nd Annual Bock Christmas Party

We had a lot of fun again this year with our Christmas party. We missed a few friends there but had such a great time with our wonderful friends who were there! We played a trivia game, "What's in your purse/wallet" game, ate great food and had quite a funny gift exchange. I think everyone's favorite part of the night was Joel trying on his Superman Snuggly that he won!

First Visit with Santa Clause

Here is Maddie's first visit with Santa Clause. I think she loved it! Actually, a good friend of ours from church was Santa Clause so it made it even more funny.

Gingerbread Houses

For the past five years, we have been able to keep up the tradition of making gingerbread houses with our friends Neal and Meleah. Every year it gets more difficult with more kids that get added to the mix but every year it is so fun! Thank you Neal and Meleah for such a fun tradition!!

Mission Inn at Christmas Time

Every year we go to the Mission Inn to look at all of the lights. This year we were especially excited to go because the girls have really been into the Christmas lights. We got to go with MaryBeth and Nathan this year which made it even more fun. They have the yummiest cupcake shop there which we definitely enjoyed as well as all of the beautiful lights!
