Ahhh, good 'ole Holidays!

Happy Holidays to all! It was a wonderful season for us this year, hope for you all as well. We missed our distant families terribly though! However, we were blessed with lots of cards from home and even gifts to remind us and the kids how loved we are!

Okay, here are ALL the pictures from Christmas. This year June really got to understand what Christmas is about, both in respect to the Baby Jesus and why we celebrate Christmas, to Santa, Christmas lists, and wishing for presents! As you'll see, we baked, iced, and left out cookies for Santa, and June was such a wonderful, sweet girl this year, to have deserved every present she opened! And Max, well, he liked the food, and his toys for about 5 minutes at a time :)

When Junes awake (each morning as soon as it is even dawn)...

Everyone's awake! 

Whether they want to be or not!

Cookies and milk for Santa. 

Early morning huddle, hehe.

More cookies ...

Yummy treats ...

And for a 3 year old, the best of all ...

Presents!

And, her long awaited roller skates. 

She immediately proclaimed 

"Aww, Santa should have gotten me TWO roller skates for TWO feet!" 

The second one is in the box! She was so cute.

Their tent, which broke after 5 minutes! 

Max's ball popper. He was mesmerized.

And a first try in the kitchen! She's getting it!

Happy New Year!!!
