Our Christmas was wonderful! We joyfully gave and gratefully received many sweet, fun, funny and desired gifts. Everyone was excited and happy, which is one of my favorite parts of Christmas Day...seeing all the effort and thought that I've put into gifts bring happiness to my family! But the best gift was the time together, in this beautiful place, doing things we love, with the people we love best.

| Kai's Christmas jammies! |
 |
| Christmas crackers on three.... |
 |
| The best prize: one of those classic fortune-telling fish! |
 |
| Me. |
 |
| Cookies and milk for Santa! |
 |
| And oats for the reindeer, brought down in the elevator to the grass by the pond. |
 |
| Months of research resulted in Adam's most-desired gift: a new smart thermostat. |

| Luke, giving the gift that reminds us what it's all about. |
 |
| Kai's favorite gift was the tissue paper wrapping! |
 |
| With Adri's help, I made a Super Tom/CTR Boy reversible cape. It is adorable! |

| It is hard to catch a picture of Kai not moving, he is 2 afterall--the drawback of not having the nice camera. |
