Yes, I know that putting too many pictures on a blog is a blog faux pas, but since this is my way of sharing our life with friends and family far away, and since I make my blog into a photo book each year, I've created my own rules :) Enjoy our Christmas in pictures. As you can see, we had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas together here in MI. I love seeing Christmas through my kids' eyes; their wonder, joy, excitement in the simple things. Thank you, God, for your gift of Jesus to us!

| I especially love this tradition. Kaden opened up his final Christmas book (We wrap 25 days of Christmas books), and the Christmas Day book is always the new one. This year I chose Song of the Stars: A Christmas Story. Kaden was hot, so he enjoyed the book without his shirt on :) |
