New Years

 A New Years Kiss

More Christmas

We were surprised to hear the Kamerath's would be coming Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Night. They got in late and we had to fill the time waiting for them to arrive. 

We baked Santa some cookies for the first time ever.  We usually just put out a box of chocolates. 

Aunt Shelly took the kids to some lights.

We opened our PJ's.

And, finally after the Kamerath's arrived we did the Nativity. 

Kate, Audrey and Clair loved playing sheep.

Our not so wise, wise men. 

My sweet Jared got me a much needed new sewing machine. He likes to spoil me with things I would never get myself. 

 

With eight kids we made a big mess.  

This was our best attempt to keep it under control.
