Ben's Gallery: Christmas Trees

Ben drew this picture on the way down to Grandpa and Grandma's house. It's a maze of Christmas trees. You have to find your way through the maze from the upper left to the small green tree. BUT watch out for the some of the trees they may trap you!! And then you can only escape by bonking them on the head!

Christmas Celebrations I

We had a special visitor this past Saturday... Santa Claus made an early stop to our house to deliver some of the kids' gifts since we are not going to be home on Christmas Day. The kids were very surprised!


Patiently posing before opening the first present from Santa.

Julia's favorite present - a kitty cat from Benjamin named Pellie

Thanks Bro!

Andrew's new epee!

Thrilled with his Calico Critters!

As I'm writing this we have had a few Christmas celebrations so far and Benjamin has been delightful at each one. He is so excited about every single present! He, of course, looks forward to his own but is also thrilled to give them to others. It's adorable!
