Merry Christmas!

We had a lovely Christmas, with lots of well wishes and many more presents than we expected for our two little ones! They thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and I think Adam even gets the concept of Santa Claus now. Nicole had caught Adam's cold and had the worst of it today, but she still seemed to have fun. She was just extra-shiny in the pictures. :D

Our living room looked like toyland!

Adam went straight for Nicole's present...

...and she went straight for the pile of presents wrapped in paper!

Playing Godzilla with the train set.

Rockin' on his guitar. :D

Their own little table!

Putting together his new puzzle.

A huge set of things that go "round and round"-- what could be better?!

We had a great time playing with our kids and calling different family members. If we didn't get to you, sorry, but the time difference makes it challenging! :)

We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas, and had time to reflect on the real meaning of Christmas-- on Him whose birth we commemorate with this most special of holidays. Jesus Christ, who gave His life for us that we might repent of our sins and become clean enough to return to our Heavenly Father, is truly the greatest gift we will ever receive. May you feel His peace in your life as you remember Him and begin another exciting new year!
