This year we found Santa at the zoo before Christmas. It was the first year Evan was ok with going to see him but he kept asking me if he could just stand next to Santa instead of sitting on his lap. He ended up being ok on his lap but was still not quite sure. Kaitlyn was only willing to admire from a far in the familiar arms of mom.
The kids loved making or maybe more accurately stated eating the gingerbread house.
Then we headed to MA to visit grandma & grandpa with aunts, uncles, cousins and more. It was great!

| My grandpa Ed ("pepe" as the kids started calling him because all the grandpas were getting confusing) was visiting. It was great to have him there. I don't remember when it was he last spent Christmas with us. My kids loved him, especially Kaitlyn. |
We had the kids dress up as we read the Nativity story. They did really well this year and enjoyed it.
 |
| Grandpa taught Evan how to make fires. Aunt Michelle even caught him one night after he had just lit his own match. That was a little scary! Thank heavens he didn't burn grandpa's house down while we visited. |
We enjoyed some hiking at my uncle's farm
Christmas morning . . . 
We enjoyed playing with cousins and friends.

| I got to see my good girlfriends from high school which is always a treat. |
