Our own family Christmas

We have a tradition to do our own family Christmas on New Year's Eve. It may have to change as the kids get older but it works for now. That way it frees up Christmas to be with our families. Here is Joel and Emily with a shirt that says "my heart belongs to daddy"

Abby and Daddy playing with the new gift of lincoln logs. I don't know who the gift was more for. Joel picked them out and now I know why.

This year Jonah and Leah were here to celebrate with us.
