Christmas

Christmas is always one post that gets pushed off.. The special time with family, the fun and the coziness mixed in with the celebration of Jesus is just tough to put into words.  Plus all the pictures are taken in dark living rooms with fast moving kids.  But here are a few from Christmas Eve at Oma's and Christmas night at home.  I meant to take pictures at the Wubs party but it was after a long day at work and all I did was sit in a chair and absorb the talking around me. 

Christmas Eve was spent at Oma's House. We showed up about noonish did alot of group cooking, ate appies, watched the Handel's Messiah on TV and generally  enjoyed each other.  Then we had dinner, dessert sang some carols and the kids opened their presents.

Christmas Day was after church in the afternoon.  Emily with the very important job of helping Gramma by drying the carrots

Emily will be the first to tell anyone.. store clerks included, that Christmas is not about presents but about Baby Jesus.... but we still need a few pictures

And when its all done... only snuggles with daddy and doggy will do =)
