whew! we made it through another wild and glorious christmas! the kids all sang in the choir, robes and all, twice! which made for a really long stint on christmas eve. but we figured what better place to be on christmas eve, right?

lots of cousin time..... and even a new cousin born the day after christmas!!

o tannenbaum, o tannenbaum....
please don't catch on fire....

i'm just not ready to take everything down yet. even tho it's starting to look a little scary around here.
