Christmas as a Family

n Christmas Day we drove home from Wisconsin to celebrate Christmas as a family. After unpacking, we all relaxed before putting together scalloped potatoes and ham for dinner. We ate together and then opened presents. It was a relaxing time and we all enjoyed our tmie together as a family of four for the first time.


Rachel and Levi opening gifts. Levi put the bow on his head.


Rachel with her new scarf. I think I would like one, too.

Levi got a bow stuck to his back end. What a great gift he makes!


Millie was "all-Christmased out"!


Mommy and Levi. I got a new vest from Bret that I am modeling.


Levi and daddy! HE was pretending to be a dog.


My two beautiful children!
