Christmas!

It's been several years since we traveled for the holidays, and I have come to love the lower stress and more enjoyment that comes from just staying at home at Christmas.  We just hang out, enjoy each other and don't have to worry about being anywhere at a particular time (except church on Christmas Eve).  After church on Christmas Eve, mom, dad, the girls, Jason and I came back and opened gifts.  Of course, it was most fun to watch the girls.  They get so excited about everything.

Awww...giving Grandpa some love.

Christmas chaos.  As usual, Dutch eventually just
gave up and sacked out in the middle of everything.

Jason helps Elise with the Origami kit she got for Christmas.

Christmas morning:  big, soft blankets and fairies from Santa.
