Our Family Christmas, 2011

Merry Christmas, 2011. It's turned into a good year.
We feel blessed to have each other and our kids.

Danielle loves her new hat and glasses, a gift from Kyle.

Danny was surprised by his Rush poster!

My mom was here to share in our family time, too.

hmmm? any guesses?

Jace's not too sure about Santa, but even when he pouts, he's so cute.

Christmas is always a special time of year for our family. We gathered at Joseph & Alicia's home again this year and it was very special. Santa came to visit, and brought Mrs. Clause this time.

We rejoiced in the birth of our Christ, but we also silently felt the loss of a dear family member; Linda. But, I believe that God sent us another gift, a precious child; Leah. Who seemed pretty stunned with our American traditions of Santa.Merry Christmas to all.
