Christmas 2012

So a terrible stomach bug swept through our family and extended family the week of Christmas....  The kids and Lee and I had our turn Christmas Eve, so we were so thankful that Christmas Day we were all well enough to enjoy the day...

Thanks to Craigslist and Papa Bob's impressive mechanic skills, the kids got these battery operated quads....

Thanks to monetary gifts from our family, this was Lee and my main Christmas gift - front yard landscaping!

In the late morning on Christmas, we enjoyed skyping with Papa Tim and Gi Gi and opening presents from them - It was a nice way to enjoy Christmas with them even though we were far a part!

We got to hang out with the rest of our extended family and cousins later in the afternoon and evening...

(Don't worry, the pink bike is not Aaron's - he was just borrowing Laney's)

In the midst of the sickness and chaos, we were so glad to celebrate with our family, as well as reflect with our kids Baby Jesus born in a manger to rescue the world!
