Merry Christmas!

 Our Christmas morning started with a literal bang when Clara pulled her stocking off the mantle and the stocking holder smashed her in the head. Luckily she was fine and we hope it helps her realize the benefits of listening next time. After a break to get some ice, she was on board with starting stockings.


After stockings, the kids were eager to get the show on the road.

They all got some stuff they loved, including Hannah who somehow didn't make it into any of the gift pictures.  Jason focused on taking video this year, as he has said he wants to have more video of our family.  Afterward he said he got some great footage but that he forgot to also take many actual pictures. 

After a break for rest, Christine and Michelle came over for Christmas dinner.

We had a nice dinner of sauerbraten and then did Christmas crackers, which we always do in our family. 

We had a really nice holiday and were so glad to have Christine and Michelle to share it with us. 

Does Michelle look like she is trying not to get too close to Clara? She probably is. The kids got Chapstick in their stockings and Clara used at least half the tube in a single day and so was very very resistant to chapping on most of her face and a lot of her hair by the time this picture was taken, and she smelled very strongly of cherries.
