Christmas!!

We have entered into the peak time of Christmas fun in our household! Julia and Benjamin were both really into the holiday this year. There was much anticipation and excitement starting even before Thanksgiving. 

Their Christmas lists for Santa were short: a train for Benjamin (but one that he could ride on around the house) and a monster truck and pom-poms for Julia. Both of them got their wishes and a few other things and were thrilled! But the highlight of the season, for Benjamin, came a few days after Christmas when he received his gifts from Auntie Lyndsay and he opened a Nesquik chocolate milk gift pack! I wish I had a video or even a picture of his pure delight - it was priceless! 

I really didn't get too many pictures this Christmas. I just enjoyed the day with Andrew and the kids. So I'll end this with what has become our annual family picture with Santa (Andrew and I try to extricate ourselves each year but no luck yet!).
