A Magical Christmas

I sincerely enjoyed this Christmas. Brent played saxophone with Charlotte and Chris in the church band. The kids LOVED the music. We looked at lights after church and ate dinner late. Brent's family stayed over for Christmas Eve and morning, and then we visited my folks for dinner on Christmas Day. It really was an amazing feeling to hear the Christmas story and remember our anxiety about the birth of our babies. I couldn't help tearing up just thinking about it. I related so much more to that story this year. What a special time.

Rediculous. Thanks for all the gifts, MawMaw and Poppy!


The kids, of course, did not understand what was going on... but they could still appreciate presents!!! The riding toys seemed to be a hit! They actually enjoyed pushing each other!!! Thanks, Aunt Charlotte!






The kids in their Christmas garb:
Sneaky boy...










They'd rather be nude.






Very GQ.


A wagon ride from Colette... thanks Oma and Papa for the big red wagon!


The cousins on my side (Colette with Garin, Meredith with Ariana, Charlie and Kate):
No, Charlie was not really dressed for the picture, because, in true Charlie fashion, he puked on his outfit before the picture.
He was also getting cranky because 7pm was approaching.
And, neither one of the kids wanted to wear pants.
