It was a little different this year being all by ourselves for the Holiday's. We're used to celebrating Christmas with tons of family and friends. It was fun though getting the house all decorated and just spending time together. We were also so excited that Ben and Caitlin decided to join us for Christmas. As they made their way down from Maryland we started our Christmas Eve program. Kev read from the Luke 2 and the kids decided to act it out with our 'Little People' nativity scene. We sang a couple of Christmas songs and then carried on some family traditions that Kevin and I grew up with.
The kids got new pajamas and then got to open their secret Santa gifts from each other. Ryley and Olivia drew each other and Ben and Ethan did the same. They really enjoyed picking out gifts for each other. Ben and Caitlin arrived around 1am and we finally turned in (after Santa came) around 3am.

As always, adorable! Thanks for the update, Katie. It's always so nice to see how you and your dear, sweet family are doing. I'm glad you and Kev and co. had a good Christmas!
We love you!
Oh my gosh, your kids are so OLD! Especially Ben, I haven't seen any of them since Marana, I think. Wow.
I can't believe how big Ethan is. It brought tear to my eyes when I realize I hardly know the little guy. Thanks for all the pictures. It makes being away from you easier.
