Christmas Eve

Mmmm. Jeff and Kro prepare trifle.

Kristin, Guy and Matt just can't figure out the odds that there are 20 people sitting around, opening "crackers" and yet the 6 year old boy is the one who gets the whoopy cusion inside his.

The Big man himself came to visit on Christmas Eve!!!  Can you believe it? Anna can't:)

Thanks for making the visit possible, Kurt Santa!

The kids are always excited when my cousin Mike and his wife, Lauren visit, because that means Gaia is coming, too!

Uh, Joseph placing some sort of spell on the dog, evidently...

And the whole, crazy, gang.  Sure love these folks!Cousin Lauren is dissappointed when she discovers the doll house truly is for Elizabeth and Anna.

The only thing Anna asked Santa for was "Princess chapstick".  And what do ya know, she got it!

This is James with the picture frame Lizzy designed and painted for him.  This year each child made one gift for one sibling.  They loved the creating and giving as much as receiving!
