Christmas

February is upon us, and I am just posting Christmas photos...

All I can say: It is hard to live life and write about it. :)

Below the girls are enjoying breakfast; and, yes, that is a pickle. Let me explain. Every year we hide our Christmas Pickle -- an ornament and tradition passed on from Grandma -- and, so we decided that every meal we ate on the day of Chirstmas would include a pickle...and it did!
After our pancake breakfast, we opened a few gifts. Grandma and Boppa sent the girls individual sleeping bags -- each in a different color and with their name on it.

Jane cuddles with hers,

Claire gets all zipped up and

Rory snuggled right in.

Then, Daddy led our gingerbread house decorating. He's a natural!

While we enjoy the fun and family time, we are most grateful for the celebration of our Savior's birth. We love one another. We love you. And, we love Jesus!
