It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

What a fun Christmas.  More proof that God is a God of Miracles.  Mike is still one month from getting his first paycheck, but thanks to the hand of God and many generous people and anonymous gifts, we didn't feel the pinch.  Thank you to everyone who had a part (you know who you are) in making this a wonderful Christmas for us.

She found the stash Santa left.

Cole dumping his sock.

Macy opening her Santa gift.

Ali's desk chair from St. Nick

Jane's favorite Dora movie.

Cole never disappoints in the reaction department.

Yup.  We give cereal as a gift.  The kids LOVE it.

Watching Dad unpackage something...
isn't this how parents spend most of Christmas morning?

The gang's all here
(Here you're catching a glimpse of the cold just starting
that wiped me out all that day and the next).

What's Chrismtas without garbage bags full of wrapping paper?

Merry Christmas!!
