A Very Merry Christmas


Here are a few pictures of our Christmas yesterday.  It was so wonderful to be together again as a family!


Hannah is one of my "snuggle bugs". 


Rachael received a box of gloves from Ben and Laura to assist in changing the diapers of the little ones.  Quite appropriate for the nurse in the family.  Katie thought it was funny, too. :)



I think it would be safe to say that the gifts "outgrew" the tree. :)


Little Katie reminds us all of a baby doll - except that she's alive!




The first gift that Samuel opened that day was all he really needed.  The animal crackers had to eventually be removed from the room so that there would be some left for later.





Essie is smiling in this picture because the package of socks she is holding doesn't contain a single match, something which only Aunt Rachael would think to give! :)


After opening gifts, we ate dinner and spent the remainder of the evening playing games, doing puzzles, reading stories, and talking and laughing together.   What a fun day with special memories.  So grateful for another wonderful Christmas!
