This year, we got to celebrate Christmas twice; the first time on our traditional Christmas Day, and then on January 2nd, with the whole big family (even Rebekah)!!!
Some might think... ugh, you had to do Christmas twice??? That is twice the cooking, cleaning, and mess making! What a nightmare! Nope, not here! In this family, we say: Yahoo!!! We get twice the fun and cousin time!!! What can be better :). See for yourself:
Christmas programs at school:
Here is a sample of our sledding run... bet you are jealous that you weren't invited :)
Decorating our beautiful tree from Costco :). I put the stand on a bit crookly (actually, a lot crook... then, I discovered the water bowl leaking, after the tree was decorated... lot of Tree Drama this year. LOL!)
Abby's failed attempt to "fly" the angel to the top of the tree :)
Seth's turn to try... oh, you are heavier than your sister!!!
TA DA :) We did it!!!

You like my Christmas outfit... complete with sparkly tights?!?
One of the highlights of our Christmas season: wandering through the Christmas lights on Christmas Eve (after a nice dinner and Christmas Eve Service!).
Christmas morning -- after a little time at home for our Christmas Bible time and presents, we went over to Grandpa & Grandma's house to have some more "family time":

Watch out for Ezekielosaurus!!!
As a part of our Christmas presents to our children, we gifted them an outing. Abby was given a trip with Daddy to San Francisco to see the musical, Wicked. The boys were given a trip with me to play in the snow in Big Bear. These two trips occurred simultaneously, the day after Christmas... it really was a great time!!!
