Christmas Pictures Part 2

Katherine's new "house". It is as big as it looks, if not bigger. They love it! And it makes a winter spent inside more bearable.

Matt models his new sweatshirt while also enjoying a superb English Muffin (thanks Dad!)


I don't know what this is about - but she is just so darn cute!


This is how we do the day after Christmas! Anna made hot cocoa mix at school and gave it as a gift to the family. It was so good.

Christmas Pictures Part 1

Stockings are opened before Mom & Dad get up. I got up to take some pictures before they were completely done!





Let's pass out the gifts. All the kids got to help out this year.


Anna got Claire a book for Christmas - it is based on one of their favorite TV shows. Nobody knew she had done that but her. It was precious.


Anna snuggles with her new pillowcase from Grandma.
