This year was extremely busy for the Buchinger household at Christmas time! We celebrated 5 times and we have one more to celebrate with my dad. Here are some pictures of the festivities. Hope you enjoy them!
The first couple of pictures are of my wonderful family and I hanging out at my parents house.

Nataleigh visited Santa but I don't have the picture scanned yet...I will soon! Here are a few pics from her at the mall.

She loves playing in front of mirrors!

The next set of pictures are from the Buchinger Christmas at Nate's parents house. We celebrated after we got back from the Bishop Christmas. It was a lot of fun except we were missing Anne, Chris & Graydon! :( We still enjoyed ourselves opening up presents and spending time with family. Nataleigh was not interested in opening presents since it was so close to her bedtime. She was quite cranky so we put her to bed and continued on opening our presents.
