Merry Christmas!

didn't get a Christmas card from us?  it's ok, we're still friends!  i didn't actually send any this year.  life just got ahead of us, along with plans, and sickness, and I'm just glad I got pictures taken for the grandparents' gifts!

we are over half way done celebrating "kissmas" with our extended family, but i wanted to post a few pictures of the kids for our friends near and far.

i put up our tree on the day after thanksgiving, and when tag woke up, he said "mommy made kissmas!"  every day since then, we've enjoyed watching the kids excitement grow in the holiday season.  we've learned about "nomen" (snowmen), and "sammyhouse" (santa clause), and   tag asks to open "pesants" on the regular, so i'm not sure how he'll face january (jk).  but we'll continue to enjoy the giving season while it lasts.  

what a blessing these little faces are to us!  thank you Lord for these precious gifts and for the gift of your Son, Jesus!!!  merry Christmas everyone!
