I stole this rare picture off of Grandma's blog. It's small and sweet and show's us actually sitting down for a few minutes before the whirlwind of wrapping and baking and chaos unfolds back at our house in preparation for the next morning.I always think I'll be more prepared. Never happens. Truly draining.
The big girls showing off the bling they received from their secret and not so secret admirers.
later that evening...
as the children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads... Mamma did anything BUT settle down for a long winters nap...
but it was worth it!
Our little clothes lover.

Miss Kate is always happy with anything!
Happy Dance!
You've heard of a tree lover? Matthew is a globe/geography/fact/trivia lover. He's still trying to figure out why people would want to take over little ole' Israel.
Our Ninja turns spy.
He really did like his toy even though his smile looks forced.
The kids work hard to earn money throughout the year by dog sitting, teaching, babysitting, playing in quartets. It's so fun to see them want to buy and make things for each other. They get such joy out of it.
They make Christmas wonderful!
