Merry Christmas!

Christmas was, as always, much anticipated and much fun. It was always exciting to see where "The Evies" as Jake called them (Evie the Elf and Mistletoe his Reindeer) were each morning. They were sure creative this year! Here they are sledding:
Stuck outside:
And on a horse-drawn carriage ride:
Christmas Eve we made sugar cookies for Santa (and us!)
And acted out the Nativity:
I didn't get any pictures on Christmas morning, but rest assured the kids were properly spoiled and happy. We had several sincere offerings of thanks which make it all worth it. We are thankful beyond words for our Savior who is the reason for the season and without whom none of this would matter. Merry Christmas, one and all!

What wonderful Christmas memories! I loved the Elf pictures...so fun that you took a couple of pictures of them. And you got some adorable pics of the family. It makes me so lonesome for you all.

I miss these years. I think it was the calmest stage of family life. The desires were pretty simple and Christmas gratitude truly is priceless
