Christmas Fun!



We are blessed! Christmas was such a joy with our little ones! So much fun to see the wonder and amazment in their sweet faces on Christmas morning and all through the magic of the season.  Here are a few photos from the season.

Our elf--- Cheryl!

Last year Nana and Papa Bill got us Elf on a Shelf.  Barnes was too small to really understand it, but we made up for it this year! He had a blast finding Cheryl every morning and talking about where we might find him next! Yes, HIS name is CHERYL.  Barnes came up with it.  He was very adamant that his name be Cheryl and HE was indeed a boy elf.  Well, okay then... It was fun, fun, fun! What a great family tradition we have started! Thanks Nana and Papa Bill!
