Christmas 2013

Here it is the last day of 2013.

Jack is deep into a new book.
Kayla is working quite independently on her sewing machine.
Sammy is scrubbing the marker off his face that served to camouflage him for a while.
Lucy has been playing peacefully with her dollhouse.
I love moments like this.
Before we hit the New Year, I want to be sure to remember this Christmas.  It was a little different because we stayed here for Christmas morning. 
A snapshot of Christmas Eve:  caroling with friends in the morning, delivering baked treats, playing games, a cold bike ride for the kids, enjoying the company of a friend for our Christmas Eve dinner, and a Christmas Eve service at our "old" church.
Christmas  Day:  an early start (of course!), kids playing with new toys for several hours (!!), a car ride to Mimi and Papa's.
Overall, enjoyable time with family, my side and Brian's.  Good food everywhere.  Fun cousin time.  Sweet memories.
