Holidays

December has been lovely. We celebrated our first Christmas in our new home. We are truly blessed with good friends and glorious family. We had Christmas with my parents a week early and then David's parents flew in and spent Christmas and New Years with us.
Storybook Land included a visit with Santa! It was so cold that night we thought we really went to the North Pole.

Our fist tree

making a gingerbread house with Grammy

Lilia's school Christmas program was so fun!


Grammy and Pop spoiled us with fun gifts!
I made Mom and Dad a quilt.

Grandma Joy colored and played games

Dipping chocolates was a great family tradition we were able to continue with Grandma

Santa brought Max a Thomas Train Tent and a Tricycle!

Katy got a SuperSeat....she'll need to wait a while before she's ready to really enjoy it.

Lilia got a castle tent and an American Girl Doll from Santa!

Our beautiful Katy keeps growing and showing more personality.

Merry Christmas to all
