What a great Christmas!


This was our first Christmas that we would spend together with just our little family.  We were a bit worried, since we don't have any traditions yet, that it would be quite boring.  We were relieved to find, that, on the contrary, we had a really fun and satisfying Christmas.  We started on Christmas Eve by visiting Chris's 98 year old Grandma, who is visiting in Mapleton for a few weeks.  She is an amazing lady and we try to visit her whenever we get the chance.  After visiting with her and running some errands, we visited Chris's friend Bill and wished him a Merry Christmas.  He was glad to see us, as he always is, and we had a nice visit.  We had dinner with some neighbors that night, and had fun singing Christmas carols with their family. 
 

I think our girls had a great Christmas.  This will be the first one Lily will remember, so we wanted to make it a good one.  As you can see, we are trying to turn her into a mini-us.  She also got a doctor kit.

I'm so glad you guys have a family site. I'm stuck out here in the wilderness and this way I don't feel so cut off from your family. The pictures are great. Lily is such a good big sister. I love Kate's facial expression in the Halloween costume! I'm so glad you had a great Christmas. See you soon (at least here.) Shelly
