This Christmas held most of our favorite traditions and lots of surprises, laughter, and good food. One thing I love about the kids growing older is that they can tell me what their favorite traditions are - some I didn't even think of! Like the way they sit on the stairs until they're allowed to come downstairs, or how Annie and Mary lay in bed together tracking Santa on the iPad until they get tired. I love that the kids are buying their own gifts for each other (Annie and Nellie even have their own money!) and that they all are becoming thoughtful gift-givers. They had some creative homemade gifts, too.

It was a wonderful Christmas week, if a little jam-packed. We sure missed Pam this holiday season, but we extra appreciated the time we had together and with all our family.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Here are some photos of special moments, in no particular order.

The biggest gifts this Christmas were an electric drumset and banjo - they are getting a lot of play so far!
