I figured that since it is nearly Valentine's Day I would post a few pics from Christmas.
Better late than never, right????
Kaija at her band concert.
Zach and Bella both performed as well but the pictures didn't turn out well.
Zachary was a Roman Soldier for our church Christmas party- A night in Bethlehem. It was a fun evening, but the best part was when Joe surprised us and showed up at the house later that night.
I can't even remember now where he was... Greeley perhaps
yep I think that is where he was.
Spencer loves to get into the kids instruments- he practiced right along with all of them,
though he does leave some love drool behind to show how much he cares!
Bella participated in the Dress like a Chrismas Tree day at school-
they took a picture of her too, so she was happy!
This would be the Christmas morning hair moment since we had church to attend.
And my goodness, aren't we just gorgeous?
So Zach has this thing with those Christmas Crackers that they traditionally use in the UK and other such locations. So we decided to make that a part of the celebration,
and here we are in all of our Cracker Crown glory!
Spencer was delighted with the concept of presents,
it was hard for him to wait until after church to dig in and see what it was all about.
The kids had a wonderful time choosing gifts for each other this year,
and they chose some very practical things...
like Zach's gifts of jello, spam and prunes, or Kaija's Psych-like gift of a pineapple.
(You would have to be a fan of the show to really appreciate it)!
It was all rather surreal this year; we enjoyed being together, but there was a lot of the magic of the season missing in our lives right at that moment. The whole quit your job, then have to work for another month thing really took the wind out of our sails. Next post I will share what fun things we did over the holiday break, the kids were so happy to get back to school!
