This Christmas season was fantastic. We baked, went caroling, looked at Christmas lights, made homemade gifts, decorated cards, learned about baby Jesus, and read endless Christmas books.

Elijah plays with a giant floor puzzle from grandma Wilma on Christmas Eve day.

The kids made out Christmas wish lists this year and we "mailed" them to the North Pole. I didn't know it, but Steve made a response letter from the North Pole.

Look at Elijah's face; he was so thrilled.
He even tried to use caligraphy to make it look more special.

Our favorite local kids' musician, Victor Johnson, had a kids' Christmas concert. It was the perfect holiday evening with snow on the ground, lights every where, wine for the adults, and dancing and singing for the kids.
