Christmas has to be the best time of year, the longer it lasts the better. We enjoy a lot of fun traditions during the holidays, seeing the play Christmas Carol at the local theatre house, making a gingerbread house, using the quilt advent calendar, decorating trees and the kid's rooms, baking, lots of neighbor gifts, filling the manger with straw (good deads) and passing the service wand around our family. There's the annual neighborhood block party/ luminary walk. Santa comes every year. This year his "validity" was especially important to one of our family members... it's not Lynn. ;-) Santa was the real deal again this year with a real beard. Jacob and friend Chase searched the neighborhood rooftops and backyards for his reindeer and sleigh. Lynn was asked to take over the hay ride this year and I think he's hired from now on. (Jacob pictured below on hayride) Can I say a word about Addy our cat? Poor kitty gets treated like a puppy.... Elise is teaching piano and pictured at her first recital this month. She had 5 students and in January increased to 12. It's a perfect job for her, just six hours a week and no tax taken out of her checks!
